We finally were able to get to this year's nestsite and yes, Beau and Jules are trying to nest this year. Four eggs have been laid, don't know if any of them will turn out to be viable in the end but two I think are iffy, two are possibles.
We have installed a nest tray under the eggs and Jules took to it within minutes so no worries there. The location is sheltered but the substrate is poor so the eggs haven't had any real protection. The nest tray (aka tuppernest) has solved that problem. We will just have to see what happens.
And yes, we can "see" we have installed two cameras for monitoring purposes only - just like last year, we will not be streaming this nestsite to the 'net.
Its a waiting game now.
