Yes, I had a hunch when He brought in only a small prey yesterday afternoon. I kept cam up all day but had to go to bed. Great news :clapegg:

Female incubating her egg for now. In checking in late this morning, saw her standing on the ledge and sometimes nobody seen on cams. I rarely catch the male home. Thankful for the site's update to see the video and pics.

Mom's standing on the lip of the nest box right now.

Both there now, the male atop the left roof and the female in the nest. Shortly after 12, they both abruptly looked upward as if responding to a sound. She came out and perched on the lip and then continued to look upward. The male was vocal as he was watching. Both soon settled and remain in these positions. They continue to look toward the sky at intervals. 12:23, Mom back to the nest and settles over her egg. Dad remains on the roof with the occasional look to the sky.

Edit to add pics...

Here's, in part, what you were describing, SWINWK

Later. Dad, I guess, knew something was going on and came down.

Going to boil water...kidding...not sure why he decided to leave unless Mom told him to get out.

Mom is parked mid ledge tonight looking out over the city.

Only caught her today in the nest. Tonight she is on the mid ledge again facing the city.

At 3:23 am, the female is awake and standing on the lip of the nest box.

As the eggs slip into the abyss, looks like we're gonna have to rely on a little bit of luck and/or the keen eye of watchers to catch #3. Hopefully she'll move them back "up the hill"...

Well, I haven't seen anything that looks like #3 has arrived...but so hard to tell in the dark!!

I was thinking it might come earlier this evening, but forgot to watch her. Maybe we'll see it in the morning.

The male was on the eggs, she came to the ledge a few minutes ago, then left. She returned and stayed on the ledge for awhile, then finally down to the nest and when he got up could see the top of a 3rd egg! :7val:
