Pa arrived at 7:31 with some oak leaves and fluff that he left around the rabbit leftovers. Ma off the eggs and to the left branch, then flew. Pa to the eggs. At 1:45, Pa stands and flaps his wings several times to shake the rain from them, then flies out the back of the nest! At 1:46, Ma arrives to the left branch and then down to the eggs. She does her adjustments to the bowl and eggs and finally down on them at 1:50. A very soaked Ma remains on the nest at 8:20!

Pa arrives to the left branch at 7:40 with a pine bough delivery. Ma gets up and flies out the back. Poor Pa! The pine bough slipped from his talons as he was moving down the branch and is gone forever. Loved his reaction, he did like we would do. He looked back at it a couple times, but it's really gone Pa! Then on to the eggs! Ma in at 2:05 to the back of the nest with a stick! Pa got up and to the left branch and flew! Ma starts eating from the rabbit leftovers. To the eggs at 2:10 with some struggle getting down in the bowl as she needed to use her wings to balance going in. Down over the eggs at 2:12 after her adjustments. Pa arrives with about a half of a fish at 4:47. Ma is vocal and got off the eggs and leaned over effortlessly and gulped it down in 1 bite. Both are very vocal and Ma to the left branch, but she turns to face him. Eventually she turns and flies and Pa to the eggs at 4:49. Ma returns at the end of the 6:41 minute and starts nibbling on the leftover rabbit again. Pa is remaining on the eggs while she eats so far. Ma's finished eating at 6:51 and stands there looking at Pa only taking 1 step forward. Pa finally gets up at 6:53 and goes to the right branch and eventually flies while Ma heads toward the eggs for the night.

Ma was startled awake this morning at 7:15 by Pa arriving to the left branch. He hopped down onto the nest and headed toward the leftovers. Ma flew out the back of the nest a minute later. Pa took a few small bites, then headed toward the eggs. Ma returns at 10:26 to the back of the nest with a fluff delivery that she spreads a little. Pa flew out the back at 10:28 and Ma finally settles on the eggs after her adjustments at 10:33. Pa returns to the left branch at 11:08 with a fish and then to the nest with it where we see Pa has already enjoyed the head prior to delivery! Ma is excited and gets up to claim her gift. Pa flew out the back at 11:09. Ma is enjoying her fish dinner! One final gulp to get the tail down at the end of the 12:15 minute, then she scours the floor of the nest for the tiny bits scattered about. She flew out the back at 12:17 just as Pa is landing on the left branch. He hopped to the back of the nest looking for any bits Ma left behind, but she did a good cleanup job, so he moves to what I think is the leftover stiff rabbit pelt and picks it up, then back down again. Pa to the eggs at 12:18. Pa's getting hungry! He got up at 3:47 and went to the leftovers corner to grab a few bites, then back to the eggs at 3:51. Pa flew from the back of the nest at 5:07 and Ma arrives at 5:08. Nibbling on the rabbit pelt. She heads toward the eggs at 5:10 and after all her adjustments to the bowl and eggs, she finally settles over them 4 minutes later! Probably for the night as I noticed Pa was a little stiff coming out of the bowl during one of his egg rolls earlier this afternoon and seemed eager for his break when he left!

Pa flew in at 8:03 with a small fluff delivery. Ma still soaked from the rains gets right up and heads to the left branch and flies. Pa let go of his fluff then moved the rabbit pelt closer to the rails. To the eggs at 8:05 for his 1st turn of the day. Pa still on the eggs at 1:25. He seemed to see an intruder as he was looking upward and alerting, then he got off the eggs and flapped his wings several times to rid the moisture and flew at 1:26. He returned at 1:27 and stood on the back of the nest awhile looking around, then back to the eggs at 1:29. Pa got off the eggs and flew at 1:45. Ma arrived a minute later to the back of the nest. To the eggs at 1:47 and over them by 1:50. Ma sees something and off the eggs and calling out at 2:34 and flew seconds later. Pa to the left branch at 2:35 and then down to the eggs. At 3:57, Pa is intently watching some type of activity that we can not see. This goes on for several minutes and I assume they have been dealing with an intruder in the area. At 4:05, Pa is vocal and stands and backs out of the bowl and alerts. He watches the skies above him, then outward from the nest. At 4:07, he gets back over the eggs. He remains watchful. At 4:16, he gets off the eggs and we can see Ma flying in the back woods as does he and he flew. Ma arrived with a fluff delivery and spreads it and on the eggs by 4:19. Noticed Ma while remaining on the eggs is alert and watchful of something she sees out from the back of the nest at 6:15 for several minutes. Luckily darkness fell and there were no incidents. At 10:30 she is asleep.

Ma got off the eggs at 7:08 and flew a minute later. In this same minute, you can see Pa flying in from the back and he arrives on the left branch and then to the eggs. At 9:38, Ma arrives directly to the nest from the front with a large stick to place. Pa gets off the eggs and to the left branch and flies. She placed it to the back rail fairly quickly. Then Ma is finally settled over the eggs after her adjustments by 9:43. Ma got off the eggs at 12:28 and flies a minute later. Pa to the eggs at 12:30. Pa getting up at 2:08 as Ma flies in to the left branch. Pa hops up to the right branch and flew at 2:09. From what little we can see, Ma seems to be preening while remaining on the branch. Down to the nest at 2:11. She seems finally settled on the eggs by 2:16. Pa in at 4:55 with a fluff delivery. Ma to the left branch at 4:57 and flew. Pa to the eggs at 4:58. Pa off the eggs at 6:40 and heads to the rear of the nest, but before flying he picks up maybe a piece of stiff leftover and then flies with it. Ma in at 6:42, then to the eggs and settles.

At 8:34, Ma is getting off the eggs. She's done a great job keeping the nest bowl and eggs dry in the rains, otherwise she's soaked as is the nest! Pa arrived at 8:41 with something to eat and Ma got off the bowl and grabbed and gulped so quick I couldn't even tell what it was! :teehee:

She went up to the left branch and flew at 8:42 and flew. Pa eventually to the eggs.
