The eggs were alone uncovered about an hour.
The female looks very ragged.

5 pm USA time
She's been off eggs for a couple hours.
I dont think either one will return.

The orange cam ops refuse to say anything.   >:(

One parent came Oct 7, sat awhile, left, returned overnite.
I think it was the male. I have a feeling the female is sick, she looks awful.  New male this year may not feel up to raising young alone. Thats my best guess.

LATER
I heard chirping, clicked cam 2
The female's sitting in box #2 - re-nesting?
After while she is chirping with an offcam falcon.
But she stays on the ledge by nest #2
https://youtu.be/xUUK5c-Gsz0

NIGHTFALL in Oz
She appears roosting on edge of cam 2 nest.
No one on eggs.

CONCLUSION
EGGS ABANDONED


The mods at Orange wont allow any discussion at all.
I HATE Hardline mods. NE FL eagle mods are horrible.

Sad male laying on eggs, but its too late for them.
They've gone too long uncovered.

Very sad situation

The female's been hanging on cam 2 - not the nest.  She looks awful, sick.
Today she visited her eggs briefly when it was raining.
I dont believe any wil hatch - they've been alone most of the time for days.

SEASON OVER

Oddly, today is Friday the 13

Dad brings a meal for Mum
Season is over!
Oct 12, 2023 - Victor Hurley wrote:
In closing out the "2023 season", this is a brief statement update on the status of F22 ( female ) and the eggs in the nest box.

F22 has been looking a lot more alert and is still carrying some head injuries.  She appears to have her right eye fully open more often.  However, she has continued to be less than interested in maintaining the necessary regime for successful incubation of her eggs. 

The eggs have had been left exposed too long at temperatures well below the critical 27 Deg C to have survived. These 4 eggs are not going to hatch.

The End - of 2023 season

One chick has quite a LOT of brown on his chest.
He sat up on the outer curb awhile, looking outward.
He hears the call of the wild.
