The Forum Has Moved!

7:50 am
Dad is up and standing beside the egg.




Now down on the egg. Now up and turning the egg. Looking off to the side (maybe seeing if Mom is watching what a good job he's doing - LOL).

It does seem as if the males often have trouble getting comfortable on an egg initially (not surprising - it's a big lump to lie on!) - but they do seem to settle into it after a couple of days. I wonder if it's easier when there are two or more eggs - thinking about sitting on a balance ball....

7:50am
Dad is of the egg...looking over the nest

and settled right back on the egg


7:55a
Dad is looking over the nest


I suspect after yesterday ... he is suspicious and more cautious ... like us when something bad happens to us !

I checked the area around the nest and out front and I didn't see anything ..

Thanks Judy... and I remember Dad was like that last season with the egg/eggs

Thanks, Bev!

8:11 am
Dad up and off the egg.




And off he goes. I'm thinking he saw Mom, but don't actually know that. I think he left at 8:12 am; egg is alone.

He is up again ..looked over the nest and took off in a flash .. egg is alone !
8:11-8:12am


8:15a
He is back with a big clump of moss
...

8:15 am
Adult lands with a BIG clump of moss. Not sure which adult, but if this is Dad, I think he's decided he needs some padding if he's going to sit on that egg!




8:17 am
Adult nestles in - looks like Dad to me.

Dad moved all around in the nest after placing the moss... and settled on the egg
8:17a



LOL... I agree Judy...

8:23 am
Dad up and off again. Egg is not quite alone - it now has a moss-buddy.

He flew of again


Wonder what he will bring back this time ?
