0205 Brit returned to the nest bowl and it looked like she was intent on resuming incubation, when she pulled back and stepped away from the egg.

She is looking at something off the nest

This has been a late night for me. Rey's arrival at the nest in the morning and his reaction to Brit and his egg is highly anticipated. David has requested videos of the first interaction if possible.

From yesterday, March 24th, Brit lays her first egg.
Narrative:
Brit laid her first egg at 4:22 pm, Friday, March 24, 2023. She gave us a first look at her precious egg at 4:43 pm as she gets up to give her egg a roll and aerate the nest bowl. She then shimmies down to incubate her egg. Congratulations, Brit and Rey!

6:28 am
Brit is up and calling - I think she is ready for Rey to come in and take over nest duty, but suspect he hasn't realized there's an egg there yet.

She flew off at 6:29, and I'm hearing what I think is her calling in the distance, possibly in Rey's ear.

Added - good morning, Sandy - glad you're here!


Adult on the nest at 6:34 am.

I think this is Brit - seeing the same lighter feather on the back.

I need to step away for a few minutes, will be back in a little while.

6:34 am a close up of the egg. Brit returned to the nest to take care of her egg. She came back as I was looking in the trees for either her or Rey. Glad she got a break to stretch those wings.
