MONDAY TUCK-IN: Gabby continues to faithfully incubate her egg with little time off the egg today. She may continue for several days then finally give up. It's so nice to see her so much. I was waiting at the nest at tuck, then I went back and forth to the ET & LY twice tonight, but I didn't see Beau. I finally left about 6:20pm. However, he arrived at the nest early this morning and incubated for awhile, but that rascal remains a mystery to us. SED to our Hamlets and to all!

Hi everyone, I managed to record the segment of the owl attack early this morning and snipped a few s'caps.

This first s'cap shows the owl's legs and tail feathers in the upper right corner.

These 2 s'caps show Beau flying into the nest following the attack.

Hi Sassy, thanks for the owl video. That's the first owl attack recently.

SATURDAY TUCK-IN: Unfortunately I wasn't available to tuck tonight. Gabby flew <:ChallengerFlying:708115555554426970> from the nest this morning about 11:30 and hasn't returned today. She may be realizing the egg isn't going to hatch. Beau delivered 2 fish <:FishEmoji:709549519230206025> <:FishEmoji:709549519230206025> to the nest today and sported one honkin' crop (photo above) . He flew <:ChallengerFlying:708115555554426970> before dusk. Every day they are at the nest is a gift. SED to our precious Hamlets and to all. Please join us for Sunday Funday chat tomorrow at 5pm!

SUNDAY TUCK-IN: What a bonus night tonight with both Gabby and Beau back home! Gabby was busy incubating and Beau was perched nest side. He flew to the ET. She joined him for 2 seconds and flew back to the nest. Then he decided to go home too . What weather they endured .....especially Beau hanging on to dear life perched on Wallenda Gabby was facing him the whole time praising him as we were . Weather was fierce. It has calmed down now and our are home I believe for the night. Bless our Hamlets!! SED everyone!
