8:02am
Been viewing the cam for the past 13 min., not much happening.
I think it's Dad brooding...he's rolled the eggs, fussed with the nesting material but that's about it.
A little breezy, the tree is swaying gently.

GOOD MORNING WR on Wednesday, 04/13/11

I see the wind has returned and it is cloudy...40% chance of rain looks like.

8:36 a - Mom just flew in with a stick, put it down and picked at the nesting. Dad flew
out and she settled over the eggs facing 6.

8:37-9:19a - Mom remains in the same position...wind blowing her feathers.
She is breathing with her mouth open so it must not be too cool there.

9:21a - Mom up for an egg roll and change to 9 bringing nesting close to her.

I'll be back in a little bit.

Egg Roll 9:50 AM PDT

9:42a - Three single calls and Mom has turned to face 9.

9:47a - One little call out.

9:52a - Up for an egg roll and positioned now at 3....preening. She's really
getting after the greenery and a stick stuck to it. She has moved it in front of her
and is really wanting to put it somewhere else.

The funny action with the stick with the greenery attached.


10:02a - Egg roll, bowl digging. She's really building up the rim of the bowl.
Settled at 11.

10:27a - I have been in and out so missed the change to 9.

10:52-54a - Single calls, trills and more calls and looking all around dipping her head
when she sees something flying above.

11:05a - Loud clonks from below made Mom really look around. I missed her position
change and egg roll. She is positioned facing 8.

11:06a - Train going by....4 horn blasts. Mom has her back to the wind.

11:08a - Two single calls twice, then two more with answers from offnest.

11:14 - Much trilling and equal answer trills.

11:24a - Mom continues perusing the area but is quiet for now. Love all that fuzzy
white down all over the nest....blown off our lovely pair by the wind no doubt. She is
brooding facing 9.

11:30 - Calls and Dad has arrived to take over brooding as Mom flies out.


11:32 - Dad gets up but doesn't roll the eggs or change his 9 position...just gets
a little more comfortable.

I have to leave for awhile .... be back later.
