Hi Mary

7:10 Up to preen, moves a couple of small branches around, an egg roll, then back on the eggs 90 seconds later.

7:27 Metra sits up just enough to peek at the eggs, then settles on them again.

7:35 Quick look at the eggs.

8:16 Up for a preen and stretch. Moves some greenery in the nest bowl then settles on the eggs 3 mins. later.



8:26 Up again for more preening. ck starts chirpin' this time. Back on the eggs at 8:32.

8:46 Metra up and exits to the left. She hasn't gone far as she can be heard calling.



8:50 She returns and on the eggs at 8:52.



8:57 Up for a quick look at the eggs.

9:04 Another quick look at the eggs.

Scott! I know I wasn't seeing things...I had the cam on full screen and got my new glasses on! :blink: Have to go pack a box and check the Estonia nest...might be back!

I always see things moving here Mary. So hard to tell what exactly it is with all the shadows though.

9:13 Metra quickly off the eggs and calling out. Madis arrives with a rodent which she immediately takes and swallows.
Madis walks across the nest and exits to the left as Metra & ck continue calling out.
Metra does some preening, then back on the eggs at 9:17.







9:37 Up to do 1 min. of preening.

10:46 Up for some preening and stretching.



10:49 Leaves the nest

10:56 Returns with some nesting material and does some nestorating.



10:57 Back on the eggs and still moving straw around.



12:06 pm Up for some preening & calling out. ck chittering along with her two minutes later.



12:15 Back on the eggs.

12:20 Sits up enough to quickly check the eggs.

12:25 pm More preening and nestorating. Back on eggs at 12:29
Difficult to see the eggs with the straw she's moved and in the bright sun.



12:46 pm ck was yakkin' for a couple of minutes then Metra watches as she does a fly-by.

1:21 Cam breaking up at times with interesting effects...two Metras.
All is quiet around the nest.

5:03PM The tree itself is making it hard to see today!!





5:07PM Right after I posted the above scap, Metra gave a sharp call and jumped up. She took a good look at the eggs and settled right back down on them.
