April 12, 2015 SONday Shepnotes 7.40 am Bali laid an EGG! I saw both in nest, then I saw her twitching as if in labor - and - EGG!
Well well - NOT in the scrape. Is this a youngster who never nested before?
8 am male returns to survey her (their?) work in the sunshine. Both peeping
8.20 am Bali tries to eat egg, male flies off, she leaves egg alone
- I have seen her swim in both the near and far corners. She seems spooked by bldg glass
8.45 am Bali rolls the egg toward the doorway - she has no clue what she's doing
11 am That egg is cooking in the sun. boiled eggs wont hatch :(
11.09 egg in shade now
11.12 am I think this is the male who came to his egg. He is so sweet
-----
5 pm Boh brings Bali a bird, which she grabs and eats - outside nest, he leaves
- That egg has been eggsposed 90% of the day or so.
6.40 pm I hope this falcon tends the egg overnite
6.45 pm falcon flew off - egg is alone
- She came back - and stood on the 'curb' facing to our left, head turned toward window. freaky bird.
--------------
April 13, 2015 Monday Shepnotes 6.15 am She was up on the bridge and came down.
- She had rolled the egg toward the wall, lays on it facing outside thru the doorstep.
8.20 am Bali is on bridge and egg is alone in the sun
8.30 am Boh comes - one on bridge, one in near corner of nest peeping
(WHY am I thinking of a football game, each bird on opposite sides)
7.50 am WHOA!!!!!!!!!!!! mating on the bridge!9 am She has gathered the egg back into the upper left corner again and is pecking around
Well, Del, I posted plenty of screen shots of this nest over on RRP.
I am going to keep calling her Bali - cuz Barb is not here.
I have to wonder if a juvies first year laying is the same as this girl.
