4:44 am



I don't know if it's the light, the fact that she's wet or both...but what a beautiful color she is!

wow I forgot to even look at the cam I'm working on something else but look at the color change now. She's too quiet or I'd remember I have it fired up

5:43 am



6:21 Metra is still down and very quiet, unusual

6:45 am the many colors of Metra, just keeps getting prettier



7:01 am while Metra is just starting her day it's midnight here and I'm turning into a pumpkin!

6:44 PM looks the very same was when I left her this morning, miserable. She seems to have rolled the eggs a little further to the right. I suppose there's a dryer spot there. I got a look at both of them as they were being rolled too...they look good

7:21 pm well that's about as pitiful as I've seen her look, poor wee girl being soaked all these hours



7:51 pm no change, she's just soaked, looking around and quiet

8:14 pm still no change and I'm out for the great outdoors. Rain here too so I'll look just like you shortly Metra

4:40 am

I like when the light switch gets flicked

4:48 pretty girl up for a change of position



5:05 is there ever a pretty song being sang right now. Metra staying down on eggs

6:15 no changes, she's not budged

7:06 doesn't look like its raining any more but Metra is still pretty flat on the nest

7:13 - 7:15 am finally she gets up! Seems like forever when I look in and she's the very same place. I can't believe how far to the right she has moved the eggs. Anyway she rolled them even a little further and then did the sweet wiggle settling in on them and getting them against her brood patch



7:51 she called a few times earlier at something near the nest but has since settled facing the cam pretty much. I don't see or hear the rain but she still looks wet

8:03 she's going back to sleep, that's where I'm going
