3-24  4th egg about 11:15 AM
Dad had a turn, but when mom came back it was time to leave!

Mom decided to take a break and dove between the perch and the nestbox, so dad went in and took over for a while.

About 1310 Dad was on the eggs and a young intruder from somewhere showed up.  He really protected the eggs and it left.  Mom came in a little later to take over.

HOLY COW

I'd say "she" was only there a few seconds.  Hit the perch, hopped to the front of the nest box while dad was going crazy, and looking at her eyes I have a hunch mom was entering the area fast and she took off.

0930 It doesn't look like there have been anymore "visitors", at least not to the nest box today.

I found this from about 1615 and all looked well, so hopefully they did well if any storms went through there tonight, it's too dark to tell.

It looks like all is well after the storms.  Dad out and mom came in..........

That intruder footage is wild! Has anyone managed to get a band number? I checked the switch footage today and of course the back was pointing at us!

Was the young one back??  I hadn't found that one anymore.

It's a month since they started laying!  That time went fast.  All is good on the home front....
Exit dad, enter mom.

[Nora in IA]

It's almost a month since the last egg was laid and a couple more days than a month since the first.  We should be getting close to have a family here.  Only view of the eggs today.............
