up for another egg check
adult had to put wings out as if to keep balance in the wind.

s'cap @ 4:55 & 17seconds PM

5:17PM
up for another dig and roll
now facing with head partly behind the center trunk

The beak on this adult seems to me to be quite narrow and 'pointy' it's smudged with dirt at the moment.



s'cap @ 5:15 & 44seconds PM


s'cap @ 5:15 & 47seconds PM



s'cap @5:15 & 52seconds PM

5:28PM
more fussing in the bowl

5:36PM
calling behavior




Adult off the eggs
hesitates before leaving from upper left of view



few seconds later adult in
settles facing the trunk

6;18PM
the adult is calm and settled facing the center trunk

I have pictures I'll post later....

Edited to add pictures 11:53PM

I thought that with all the s'caps I did to day, I'd have some nice shots to tell a bit about who was who... but with the tree branch in the way It's really tough. The nest seems small relative to the Sidney one -- and they come and go from th 'edges' f the image so aren't easy to spot arriving.

In the end I decided these ones of the amazing diversity of the tail positions were fun at least. All from about 5:36PM
