Hi Castor! I don't think they will examine the egg if they remove it. They usually just say it wasn't viable. In this case the egg was laid 4 days after the second one. Quite a span of time so it probably wasn't a fertile one.

Mom has been away from the nest more than not. At one point both she and Pappa stopped at the nest to check on the little ones. Here's a serious of s'capes I got today:

7:48pm- Mom stops back at the nest to check on the little ones.

7:48pm- Now she is in the nest givin them a good look over.

7:52pm- Mom is off again!

Nightime at the nest:

10:08pm- Mom is feeding the chicks from out of the nest.

10:08pm- Digging deep with Mom's wing hanging over pot again.

10:14- Feeding is over, Mom is resting in nest and the chicks are in the front corner. Looks like they are chewing on the new growth of plant.
