Elaine L:
Thanks for the info, Carly. It helps to clarify things, as I was a bit concerned that our prolific pair here were not up to the task this year.

It's still a bit chilly there so when the sun is off the box - it's not unusual for a parent to be on them to keep them warm. The temps in the evening have been low 30's this week so that might explain it. They have the same weather we do and with the wind chill it can feel quite cold still.
If you watch Terminal Towers in Ohio, SW has been on the eggs since the first one she laid due to the temperatures there and she laid 4 so I'm still thinking we'll get our 4 here mom usually produces.

Looks like two eggs now, 3:30 p.m. MST.
