Good Morning Delta 2! Philippe and Roymac, thanks for the overnight & morning reports. Good Morning Bill, great to see you here!

5:16 am - from the rollback - Since the last post by Philippe, I checked the rollback and just wanted to note that Ma was laying on her eggs until 5:16 am this morning when she got up to preen a little, rolled the eggs, turned and laid back down over her eggs

7:32 am - Ma still calling out....not sure if she was just telling everyone she was ready to go, or if there was someone flying around that was not supposed to be there...
2019-03-12 10_35_10-Greenshot.jpg
Ma flew off, and after she left the whole tree shook as if someone else was up on the tree and had just flown off too...so I am going to assume that Trooper was up there somewhere and followed Ma....she seemed to go out and to the left so thinking she went to the evergreen tree

7:34 am - about a minute or so later Trooper came in from the back of the tree....so from the evergreen tree side, to take over egg duty. From what I can tell, this is the first time that Trooper has seen the 2nd egg

He very gently gets his feet into the nest bowl and approaches the eggs with his beak....looking unsure as to how he is going to handle two egg

7:35 am - Trooper looking around...maybe seeing Ma, as he lowers over the eggs

And then he rolls the eggs and does an excellent job of that

7:50 am - it looks like those black dots on Troopers head are now smudged from the rain...will have to wait until it dries to see if we can still use that as a quick ID marker for him

Tucking in a little more

8:01 am - I had to step away for a few minutes and happy to see that no one moved....even Trooper is in the same spot looking nice and relaxed over those two eggs.
