Both adults together means that both adults could be trapped in one place if attacked. You will never see the two of them in such a situation. One bird close by to be the first line of defense, second bird on/at the nest to be the last line of defense.

Pchemist:
I don't think so, Kinderchick, because then both would be vulnerable at the same time to any potential attacker. The chicks are nearing the time when they can thermoregulate themselves, so that's good.
Kinderchick:
Sure does look windy up there and it is supposed to rain later today. It's getting harder and harder for the chicks to be covered up. Would there ever be a time when both Princess and Trey would attempt to cover them up together, to keep them warm and dry?

Well right now they are getting a snack.
The weather will totally suck this week if they are right, for Winnipeg and here, we're suppose to get the same thing, rain. So we will see.
