[RoseA]

10:38am Pere on the North Perch.

10:44am looks like a juvenile on one of the field poles.

[SueB]

12:30 pm - Mere remains on the nest....I did not see any COTG since Rose's last post. It looked like it was clearing up earlier but now raining again

I am going to log into the cam for a quick look around.

[SueB]

12:36 pm - there is an AE out on the roof here. The winds area really howling through the mic.

[SueB]

12:42 pm - close ups of Mere

[SueB]

12:48 pm - Mere taking a little nap

[SueB]

1:05 pm - the AE remains out on the rooftop....I think there are some birds or something in the field out and to the left of them....they've been looking that way for a while.

Mere is still on the nest....I brought the cam back using the preset and I wonder if it made some noise which alerted her. I normally don't use that preset when I know she is on the nest because I know it bothers her sometimes.

I am now off the cam.

Rollback

2:55 pm - from what I can tell, Mere has been on the nest since the last post and through this time

She vocalized a few times here and there but again at 2:55 pm

3:00 pm - Pere in with some grasses

[SueB]

3:00 pm - rollback - Mere doesn't seem to want Pere to take over egg duty just yet....she gets up and basically nudges him out of the way...or who knows, maybe she lost her balance?

As Mere goes to get some nestovers Pere flies off

[SueB]

3:01 pm - rollback - Mere eats some of the nestover....not much left....they takes it with her as she leaves the nest

[SueB]

3:02 pm - rollback - Pere comes in to take care of the eggs

3:19 pm - current time....Pere has the grasses mounded up around him

[RoseA]

3:43om rollback, mate on the way to the nest.

Mere lands with some grasses, almost looking seaweed like.

[RoseA]

3:46pm rollback, well this is different... Mere lies down beside Pere... soon after Pere gets up out of the nest bowl.

[RoseA]

3:49pm rollback, Mere settles on the nest bowl.

4:25pm judging by the beads of water on Mere's back there's been more rain in the last half hour.

[RoseA]

4:36pm unlike earlier, this looks like an AE perched on one of the field poles.
