7:32pm.....Trooper got up to roll the eggs........but at this rate we won't see any pips......he isn't lifting up much, the bowl is deep and the cams aren't zooming in right away..........a little frustrating.
Some dark areas on one egg.........doesn't look like a pip though.

By this time of the night I'd hope she's already eaten. It is good to see her taking as much time as she can now off the nest. Once the eggs hatch she will be here more.alexanderernie wrote: ↑Sun Apr 05, 2020 7:34 pm7:30Ma is looking for food...flying high and low---- rabbits; mice, and moles up for air ---if tide is out...fish

7:44pm.....Ma came to the nest and Trooper got up. The cams were aimed there well and I tried to look at the eggs........cam controls are not responding well, so they don't zoom in when needed. The bowl is deep with grass around the edge. Didn't see much of the eggs.

They eat mostly off nest right now. Having food lying in the nest attracts unwanted visitors which they don't want. Once chicks are here food will need to come in for them so we will see more food in the nest then.alexanderernie wrote: ↑Sun Apr 05, 2020 7:51 pmbeen on the watch about 5 times today--didn't see any food laying around on the nest --so if they are eating its away from home--sweet nest

8:14pm.......Ma will soon be sleeping. Doesn't look like we will see those eggs any more now............and it will be too dark later to see much.
No pip seen today.............tomorrow could be the day.
Thanks everyone for being here today................I am now OFF both cams.
