2:49PM calling out


2;55PM
adult up and off the nest abruptly
the branch is hiding any view of the eggs!!
where is the wind when we need it!





2;59PM
adult in from 12oclock



quick egg check
I think the eggs were covered by nest materials making them hard to see while the adult was off the nest
settles facing 3oclock


PS~ the wind must have 'heard' me... it's quite breezy now all of a sudden :blink:

4:01PM

adult is just sitting calmly facing 9oclock
still breeezy but the sun is out a bit, casting shadows on the nest.

4:21PM
adult was up briefly to check the eggs
of course the cam had to pick then to freeze..
continues windy

What do you see in these s'caps? shadow? debris?

Where's the eggs?

@5:35 & 32 seconds

They're closer to the trunk and hidden by the branch as it is blown about!





Adult in from about 3oclock settles in on the eggs

adult in again settles in to brood facing the tree trunk

I don't know if this was any switch or not in these comings and goings.

5:34 Adult appeared to call out, and then suddenly got up and flew away. The eggs were partially covered in the nest. Moments later an adult landed and "assumed the position".
