Damp and Foggy Morning

[ondabebe]

8:25Am-9:33Am

* 8:25:53Am Clive arrives and he just as wet as Connie but he leaves again at 8.26.53Am
* Connie off the egg now to 8.27.26Am. She ruffles herself to dry off and then aerates the nest and gets back on the egg 8.36.19Am
* Clive back at 9.08.25Am with some dry nesting
* Connie gets up and leaves the nest tree 9.10.29Am
* Clive takes over the incubation 9.13.25Am but leaves at 9.16.57Am
* No Eagles on the nest
* Clive back at 9.32.45Am and vocalizing. Can't see anything but he sure can. He gets in the nest and covers the egg

[ondabebe]

It does appear there is some delayed incubation going on with Connie leaving the egg uncovered.

* ​Clive leaves 9.49.38Am
* No Eagle on the nest
* ​Connie back at 9.53.10Am and Clive at 9.53.19Am. Lots of vocalizing going on
​* Connie leaves 9.54.42Am and Clive goes back to incubating at 10.00.50Am

[ondabebe]

* Clive leaves at 12.56.03Pm and Connie returns at 12.57.53Pm
* She is presently on the nest

[ondabebe]

They zoom in on the egg. What a close up on it

[ondabebe]

So another day ends on the nest with Connie and Clive each taking their turns incubating, rolling the egg and keeping it safe. The zoomers have zoom in on Connie tonight on the nest with anticipation for another egg tonight or tomorrow. We will just have to wait and see. If that should happen I will be back.

Sleep well Connie and Clive.
