Welcome wnyjoyce (!)

Let us know if you have any questions about BCAW :eggthumb:

Thanks Beth. I don't use any outside storage for my pics except google photos which used to be Picasa. Tried following instructions but I'm having a hard time trying to upload a pic.

A lot of us use Photobucket for storage. I don't know much about Picasa.
Skygirlblue our administrator probably can help you more than I can or someone else that
had more knowledge ( I know just enough to be dangerous :)

wnyjoyce! Great to have you aboard.

That is great news about Cadence. Sounds like her maternal instincts are slowly kicking in as her hormones get in sync. I suspect that once she lays an egg of her own, she will probably incubate them all. Talons crossed. The warm weather will give Dad a break from the eggs. :fangirl:

Jersey City
After years of disappointment since the reigning pair disappeared...gosh they were like great grandparents (fostered a chick when they could no longer have their own due to age and infertility)...it looks like we may finally have some success. Juliet found a guy she likes. Hoping for an egg and really enjoying all the posts. :15heartbeat:

they have been in and out a lot today.

maybe soon . trying to look at her bosom( really i am not weird LOL)

Do the females have any control over how many eggs they lay? I'm curious to see if Cadence will lay just 2 eggs to complete the clutch, or if she will lay 4 or (gulp) 5.

Also, can anyone tell if Dad is actually incubating the eggs or merely keeping them viable?

Vlu, once the female begins full incubation, it triggers hormones to stop egg production. If Cadence lays one egg and thinks she has 3 to incubate and begins doing so, we may see another egg or two after that, but she probably won't lay a full clutch of 4-5. Dad seems to be in full incubation mode. He has been covering the eggs every chance he gets and spends the night on them, much as the female would. He is a remarkable Dad.

Thanks Bev...I keep checking too...maybe they are still working on the 2 cams.

RE: Union

I haven't been glued to the cams, but have checked frequently. I've only found the eggs alone once, and I haven't personally caught Cadence on either cam 1 or 2..I don't usually have 3 open. She could possibly be on a part of the building we don't see while dad is on the eggs..

They just panned in a full circle with the camera - no one home.
