Did you think the egg on the right toward the back had a white spot. (I could be seeing things..I was lying in the bath with the laptop on the toilet seat!)

Yeah she's been very restless today, changing positions every minute or so.

mom is Seriously Fidgety.  methinks hatch must be coming soon, because the weather doesn't warrant this level of fidgetiness.  She's changed positions a ton (like every few minutes!), is vocalizing (maybe to say "get this dang feather off my beak!") and is generally "puffed".  and there is, of course, the incessant pebble moving. 

I really hope I get to see a hatch this year!   ;D

you'd think so!  but she seems much more interested in moving pebbles.   :)

Much like Trey, whoever is on the eggs now is so focused on the pebble-moving that they've left the eggs behind them!   ;D

It can take up to 72 hours from pip to hatch, so even if you did see a pip there is still nothing to worry about yet.  :)

This morning I checked in on the Sherco and King nests which are both in Minnesota and about on the same schedule.  It doesn't look like they have had any hatches yet either. The Sherco parent seemed restless, but could just have been trying to keep warm in the frosty temperatures.  The King adult appeared to be sleeping, head tucked back but strangely one of the 5 eggs was mostly uncovered under its wing. Maybe the weather has slowed things down a bit for them all.
