~~~~~~~~~

ma just wiggled in again for the third time in 20 min's

I'm just shy of positive there's a crack out each side of the pip

taken at 3:26 have cam lag

3:11p - Multiple single call outs by Mom.

3:15-17 - Many calls and trills then she gets up, digs in the bowl. The cam kept
freezing so don't know for sure about the egg roll but she squiggled over the eggs and
settled facing 11 picking at the nesting in front of her.

3:19 - Here comes the train blowing it's horn....Mom just looking up/around.

3:26p - Up for egg roll and resettled facing 4. The front egg is rolled where you
can see what appears to be a pip as in yesterday's s'caps.

3:40 up for the 4th time

3:53pm
Adult on the nest calls out, the beak is open and the ocean below looks inviting on this sunny afternoon.
Adult is laying flat and low over the bowl.

Hearing sounds from below.

This all seems very promising!! If it is really happening and is getting obvious and close would some one send me a PM, Please?

I can't keep two cams open these days and I am glued to DeltaOWL, for better or for worse..but I want to try and see at least 1 hatch live.

3:40p - Mom's up for a little egg roll and digging then she settles back facing
12 now and continues picking at the nesting moving it around and toward the bowl
rim.

3:53p - One single call and a look up.

Lori, I cropped and lightened my s'cap (about same as yours I think) and that "pip-looking"
spot appears to be on the end of the egg. Ever seen one in that spot? Could just be
an illusion on my part. I'm not going to speculate anymore until I get a really good look at it.


:hello: Terry, - Good to see you........sure will!

funny you ask that Annie, Jean just posted last night or the night before about the air pocket that's at the end of the egg where the chick pokes through the inner membrane to get at it. Now do they keep going? No not always as we've seen lots of pips on the side but there's sure no reason they couldn't keep going. She was actually talking about Cormorant eggs I believe but who knows they're not all the same in structure

Annie has you covered Terry
