At 13:04 she was stooped , then she looked up(dad must have flown over) and then  she raised her bum up a bit and then when she bent to look I knew it was here . and then she shows us

No question is stupid.   :)

I believe the hard (serious) incubating starts at 3 eggs.  But they do sit on the eggs to keep them warm/dry when the air is cold/wet/wind etc weather related.  Plus, just to keep them warm-ish in the slow cooker/pot crock before all the sibs show up!  ;D

Quite right Liz & Bev, no question is a stupid question.  And Liz, nice simple explanation  :D

5:55 am EST time and Radisson is in the nestbox.  Too dark to see on cam 2 as of yet but she's not hunkered down on the eggs, more like she's sitting upright..maybe getting ready for egg #3  :D
