...of course, now that i've said that, whoever is in there now has decided to include the 4th egg in incubation, after ignoring it all day... ::)
jadoo:
...just tuned in today, first time since Friday - they seem to be incubating only 3 of the eggs - the splotchy one has been pushed to the side, and the parents seem to be ignoring it. Has anybody else been watching this? When did they stop incubating the 4th egg? (It was the last one laid)...probably unviable, cracked shell or something, i guess...
The Peregrine Chick:
Sure shows you the value of having an "old bird" to teach the young ones "new tricks"

Maybe when he gets older he'll grow a bigger butt and be able to fit them all underneath.
jadoo:
...little more impressed w/ Trooper this a.m., when I first checked in, Scout was sitting on the eggs, then she seemed alerted by something outside, and got up & left - the eggs were sitting in a perfect square (makes me think Scout may be a little obsessive) - anyway, a few minutes later Trooper came in to take over for awhile, and managed to carefully settle on the eggs without disturbing their formation, and (pretty much) covering them all - maybe Scout isn't so much obsessive, but more like "There - i've got them sitting just perfect for you, all you have to do is settle on them, and they'll fit - just DON'T MOVE THEM!!!"....
I'd hate to be Trooper if he moves them out of formation...
