ABOUT 10 MINS AGO, LIL DAD STARTED HIS EECHUPPING. FINALLY HE GOT NIECEY THERE AND WAS BOWING TO HER AS HE STOOD AT THE FRONT OF THE SCRAPE. HE LEFT AND SHE TOOK OVER EGG DUTY, BUT IS THAT AN EGG TOOTH ON BOTTOM RIGHT EGG I SEE THERE COMING THROUGH THAT ONE EGG???? I KNOW IT'S EARLY, BUT SOMETHING LOOKS LIKE IT'S POKING THROUGH AND LIL DAD SEEMED LIKE HE WANTED HER ON THOSE EGGS AND THAT'S JUST NOT LIKE HIM!

WELL NIECEY WAS CHUPPING AT SOMETHING I THINK SHE SAW FLYING AND SHE LEFT. TWO EGGS IN THE SUN, TWO NOT :-(

I saw little Dad do that too. I was wondering why he was so eager to give up the eggs, but now Niecey has abandoned them too for some reason. Hope not an intruder.

WELL NOW I SEE LIL DAD IS ON THE EGGS AND NIECEY SITTING ON THE FRONT OF THE SCRAPE. I DON'T KNOW HOW LONG SHE WAS GONE BECAUSE MY CAM FROZE UP AND I DIDN'T REALIZE IT, LOL!

Now they both want on the eggs. Lil'Dad on the eggs, Niecey returns, but he snuggles in rather than gets up. For now, anyway.

She has moved out of view, maybe going to let him stay.

NIECEY JUST CAME IN AND STOOD INSIDE THE SCRAPE FOR A GOOD 4 MINS TRYING TO GET LIL DAD TO GET UP. DIDN'T HAPPEN AND SHE TROTTED OUT. BOY, I CAN'T BELIEVE HE HOLDS HIS GROUND WITH THAT BIG GIRL! LOL!

NOT SURE WHAT HAPPENED, BUT I CAME BACK TO MY DESK TO FIND NOBODY ON THE EGGS!

EDIT: NIECEY CAME IN ON THE EGGS NOW ABOUT 2 MINS LATER.

LIL DAD JUST GOT HIS TURN ON THE EGGS AGAIN. HE DEMANDED IT! LOTS OF SIRENS GOING BY AT THE SAME TIME AND STILL AFTER HE SETTLED ON THE EGGS.

LIL DAD JUST GOT OFF THE EGGS AND WAS CHUPPING AND LOOKING UP WHILE STANDING AT THE FRONT OF THE SCRAPE. NOW HE WENT BACK TO THE EGGS.

Lil Dad is one in a million. He's still on the eggs, and has some fluffy white feather stuck on the very end of his tail. I suspect Niecey is going to bounce him outta there pretty soon.

NIECEY JUST NOW CAME IN AND MADE LIL DAD LEAVE. SHE GETS LATER AND LATER!

She was there for six minutes until he left. Actually too dark to see, but could be heard.

5:59 LIL DAD CAME IN. SOUNDS LIKE HE'S ASKING FOR ON THE EGGS. RIGHT NOW, NIECEY ISN'T BUDGING.

WAS WATCHING WILMINGTON FEEDING SO I'M NOT SURE WHAT TIME. I GUESS ABOUT 10 MINS AGO, LIL DAD DEMANDED TO GET ON THE EGGS. SHORTLY AFTER LIL DAD STARTED REALLY HUGGING THE EGGS AND TALKING AND I COULD HEAR NIECEY RIGHT OUTSIDE THE FRONT OF THE SCRAPE. I THINK SHE LEFT NOW, OR MAYBE SHE'S LAYING ON THE LEDGE OUT THERE, LOL! CAN'T REALLY TELL. LIL DAD IS TRYING TO NAP NOW.

I agree Faith - they are quite the pair and give me much enjoyment....... I love hearing about them every day. They are without a doubt very devoted parents. :eggthumbup:
