I watched Zeus for a while, holding tight to his eggs, but every now and then tucking his head down to look at his eggs. Could one be yelling by now? Got a view of the eggs when Maltese came back. Four good looking intact eggs....

Maltese is on the eggs, she is looking around with her beak open slightly. Is she warm, or is she having a chat with her eggs?

Zeus is attending the 4 beautiful eggs, taking a walk around the nestbox and then settling back on the eggs, cocking his head as if he heard something.....

Another sweet stand-off between Zeus and Maltese. It's been on going for about 7 minutes... He's sitting tight on the eggs, head cocked just a bit- trying to ignore Maltese. She is up on the ledge making disgruntled noises. :smile:

Oh oh- now she is Really yelling.... Zeus gives up and hops out. Maltese is still there, yelling at him....finally settles on the eggs.....

Four intact eggs of this view.

I just wanted to say I saw a possible white pip area here just before the turn of events @ COL. I did not post because I am unsure. I have seen Zeus reacting to the eggs, but honestly I have seen him and Maltese doing this @ intervals for the last 3 days. Keep an eye on things here. I will be leaving shortly for most of the eve.

Maltese just woke up, but she has her back to us and I can't see anything!

Still can't see anything.

Hi SWINWK, Maltese just gave a quick look at the eggs, and no hatches yet.... The way she looks at them sometimes, I really think they are talking to her...
