10.06Am dad brings in some wet nesting. That is the King of bringing nesting in and Mom is always just as happy to see nesting as a fish. Go figure

* 10.07 Dad flies off

10.38Am it is starting to rain and the E's move under Mom. Mom dug out the nest a bit for a better fit, but she is still big enough to cover them. I have also seen her and Dad cover their E's up together before if necessary.
