vidoe of exchange this morning. last part, slow motion so you see bands of female

Video link
https://youtu.be/kqh1NUc1wYQ

also, eggs alone for over an hour is o.k. as it was not below freezing. Probably just a glitch in their timing. He may have been outside waiting for her. 5 hours away, is o.k. usually an experienced couple changes every 4 hours , but sometime scan be longer or shorter

NOw I cannot see him flying up to tower . cant have everything

so my recorder was full so I did not see what time Aero came back . saw when Flash left but somehow missed exchange with Aero to begin with. I think he is not staying till she comes back, I thin k I miss a bit sometimes as sometimes cam skips about 3 seconds. that is a quick exchange

what my recorder did show me and I will post later, is there is a door to left of box, as you are looking at box. It is down below white rail. someone had it wide open for a bit and then closed it.
so both are there and one in front just flew off . and one is in box. both soaking wet.

sorry my tape stopped. will keep up and will put up tomorrow and try and se e what is going on.

THANKS BEV!
THATS what scared her!
If they opened that big door inside nest box - cam left

Thats how they take the chicks out to band them

YES Flash leaves before she returns.
Eggs were alone half hour as I watched

4.15 am Flash brings prey to Aero
She accepts it and flies off

I asked bev to record this box on her webcam. She wrote ....

THANKS TO BEV on bcaw

I am thankful Aero returned after 5 hours. Eggs should be fine.
Flash kept them warm enuf and temp wasnt freezing

EXTRA NOTE from history - I googled ...
Apr 16, 2015 The DNR guy was there to take pictures of the eggs.
Would DNR so disrupt nesting birds???

a good day of exchanges today, male left but came right t back.
so in sync today. but I will say, when she came in , she was checking below her or around a bit. I did video. will try and post later when I turn cams off

Yes she is still spooky but committed to her eggs.
She's been laying flat - barely visible.
Cam doesnt appear to bother Flash at all.

The Racine courthouse needs new cams - inside and out. I wonder if they are even aware they spooked the female. If they need/want pics of eggs - get an inside cam! :furious:

Checked on them - all seems OK
Watched exchange
Aero looks like she is still wary

We could be looking at hatch watch anytime.

CONCERN
May 1, 2022
7 am Flash had been on the eggs and Aero arrived to take over.
Flash left. Aero stayed a short while, got up - left.
After maybe 5 minutes she returned - I think its her ....

I dont know whats up here.
Flash has had egg duty a lot.
Yesterday he was on the eggs a long time, Aero returned - but left again.

Eggs should be nearing time to hatch.

CONCERN
May 2, 2022
Aero DOES NOT like to be in the box.
She keeps leaving eggs alone, unsure how long as Im not always here.
She had a brood last year. She knows her eggs should be hatching soon.

Flash is having a lot of egg time, more than a male usually does.
When Aero is inside, she is looking outside nervously.

Between that door opening, alarming her, and all the cam adjustments, she is mistrustful.

:nervous:

Thanks for the observations. Sounds like Aero is still skiddish...but, there are lots of nests where only the male incubates during the day...and female takes the night shift. Who knows.
