DVR
7:19pm
Mom finished eating; Dad up and feeding Mom bites of fish who feed to B17
Dad feeding B17 now; Mom wants to feed but she is in the wrong position, standing behind B17
Now she stands over the bole as if to brood ;still trying to take bites from Dad to feed to B17. Finally calls a halt to the feeding by moving down to incubate the egg and brood B17. I still see the spot on the egg.
Chat thinks it might be a pip too; just have to wait and see

Dad flies out the BD

8:46pm
Mom tucks and goes to sleep; B17 and egg are nice and warm under her blanket of feathers
9:04pm
Mom's up, looks all puffed up and uncomfortable; indigestion

Preens, rolls egg, aerates, rolls egg again, down to incubate, B17 out in front; she shimmies forward to cover B17
Restless; maybe the egg IS pipping and she feels it this is the first time she has experienced 2 hatches

Mom still awake and alert; finally tucks and goes to sleep @10:59pm
