Usual nest exchanges today after the female had spent the night on the eggs. Possibly an intruder near the area from the way the female was watching something away from the nest as did Pa when he was there this afternoon. He left the egg for a little over 30 minutes today after watching something from afar. It could be the female was nearby in a tree keeping an eye on the egg and just not visible on cam while he was gone. The female remains on the eggs as I leave at 11:26 pm.

Incubation continues with Pa helping out this morning. He took a long shift on the eggs. When she returned and took over, it was just a few minutes before he returned with a fluff delivery that they spread, then Pa did a little work on the left rails. He went to the left branch at 11:12 and flew out for the day. There was some rain and wind today that rocked the nest for a few minutes. Pa did call out to her early this evening that she responded to. No 3rd egg. She is asleep over the eggs with her head tucked as I leave at 12:20 am.

Both Pa and the female took their turns incubating the eggs today. Pa came in with 2 fluff deliveries. Looks as if there will 2 eggs for this season. The female is currently incubating for the overnight as I leave at 11:46 pm nest time.

The cams were down from 10:27 this morning till 1:32 this afternoon d/t a campus power outage. Prior to this, Pa settled over the eggs at 7:53 and was still on duty when the cams went down. He was also on duty when the cams came back up. Unknown if he remained on the eggs during the outage or if they had some nest exchanges during that time. She returned at 3:40 and preened on the left branch while Pa remained on the eggs. Usually he's already standing as soon as he sees her in the distance. She walked down to the nest at 3:48 and Pa to the left branch at 3:49 and flew seconds later and she settled over the eggs. She has remained on egg duty since. At 5:39, she alerted and Pa arrived to the left branch alerting. He flew out facing away from the nest toward the left. Nothing seen from the app cam and whatever caused their alarm just was not in view. There were no other disturbances that I know of.

They are doing great, another day of shared egg duty. Pa brought in a fluff delivery and shooed off one stubborn blue jay from the rear left, branch during some of today's activities. She is on egg duty for the night as I leave at 10:48 pm.

Pa came in this morning with a prey delivery that was in 2 pieces. One part seemed feathered and she took them to eat and Pa flew. But, he returned a few minutes later with his 1st of 2 fluff deliveries for today. She also brought in a fluff delivery later on. They shared incubation duties throughout the day and she is on night duty as I leave at 10:22 pm.

Another day of shared incubation. Pa did bring in fluff this morning. He seemed to get a little perturbed right before their last nest exchange early this evening, that he announced with fussy vocals and when he caught her flying to the right of the nest until finally flying in from the left, he couldn't take his eyes off of her. Then more fussy vocals after her arrival and after he flew to the left rear, branch. Then he flew to the rear for the night. The female is on the overnight egg duty as I leave at 9:50 pm.

Pa came in at 2 something this morning per chat and was on the right branch when I saw him for the 1st time. They shared incubation duties again today and I think it was the female who brought in some fluff. She is on egg duty for the overnight as leave at 12:26 am.
