Lonette for the scaps; know what you mean I tried hard
today to get a look at the eggs too but no clear view; Ma blocked
our view everytime I looked

Morning Blackwater

I finally got a peek at the eggs this morning
Here is my morning collage

Debs!!!

Any chance that might be a little pip on the egg, or just a piece of grass. Probably grass, eh?

Both parents on the nest

nice collage debs and nice photos lonette

i hope the eggy wegs hatch this week. it is very difficult to tell if that is a pip [what is a pip anyway?] on the egg unless you can magnify it.

Dave,
You can read about a "pip" on this page: http://friendsofblackwater.org/wordpres ... ng-begins/

I'm certain that Blackwater explains it better than I could (5th paragraph on the page). In short, the chick used it's egg tooth to punch or "pip" a whole in the egg shell.

Hi Blackwater Buds!!
The two eggs were alone for only the 30-second cam refresh period. Here they are!!

Looks like it may be snowing? Hope it doesn't snow too much. Egg hatching day is very close. I'm trying to remember, but I think one of the wee ones was born while the nest was filled with snow last year.
