Thank you, birdcamfan! I've been trying to access the cam all day, with no luck! I was finally able to see the pic for a couple of seconds before it went black again, and it does look as if they have changed the nest tray! I wonder if TPC had something to do with this?
I can't tell how deep the new tray is, but I hope the birds now have 3-4 inches of gravel to work with.

That's really great to hear...I'm sure the Maine biologist are agonizing over the situation...it was very obvious from the second egg on that there were gonna be problems...I'm sure they probably know what the pair can tolerate...and I know I probably have a very simplistic approach...but I just wonder if its not worth the risk...

I just thought I'd pop in for a few...so glad to see you guys talking about this nest...I, like the rest of you, have been so worried...its actually painful watching "little dad" try and cover the 4 eggs...not much easier for mom...I wish I could remember where I read this, but I believe this nest has failed the past 2 years. If the scrape was just deeper, then maybe that could help to prevent the egg roll situation...is it too late to just "rush in there", pick up the eggs, add more gravel, replace the eggs and get outta there?! I know that's quite disruptive, but.......
