Durand is on her eggs or two of them at least.  She has two under her, two under her breast which makes it look like she's wearing a coconut shell brassiere and the "last" egg which I think might just be a little closer to the rest of the gang than it was the last time I checked on her ...

I saw that - quite a funny picture!

Yes that last one is getting closer.  Thought I heard a canoodle earlier when they were out there... :o  She's had a challenging day for a first timer, hopefully she'll get some rest tonight and make more progress tomorrow  :-*

She's improving with each hour though it seems..such a sweetheart  :-*

Uh oh.. something startled her again and she jumped up.  Wonder if that juvie is back!

Ah, poor baby, she really hasn't got the "shuggle" down yet ... the fifth egg is a wee bit closer now too ... seems to be on ridge between the scrapes so who knows, another day and she could get them all under her yet.

Got herself parked pretty much right in front of the webcam - three eggs are just visible to the left of her, but she's blocking the view to the far right ...

Yay..she's back!!!

Pam:  I saw Donna's post - very informative and very good points.  She reminded me of TPC - a voice of reason amidst all the emotion  ;)

Flyboy came back twice but still no sign of Durand, and another falcon flew by...and Flyboy took off after it.  Good lord, I hope nothing's happened to her after all this...

There's an interesting post in "updated happenings" by Donna Daniel regarding the pros/cons of intervention.

There has been a juvie intruder there for over an hour.  Durand drove it off the ledge a few times, two were in the air for awhile..we think juvie and Flyboy and then Durand took off too.  It's been pretty crazy ..that's why she's not there.   I hope they dont' hurt themselves over it.  The juvie landed on the ledge a few times and BCAW girls got some screenshots...going throught the posts to catch up the action now.

Well now I see 4 (on left side) + 1 (on right side), all left unattended. No bird in the nestbox or on the ledge, that I can see.  :( But this certainly is a good mathematical "visual" for teaching addition to my Kinderchicklets! ;)

and again the question, how long can they be left unattended and still be viable?  Would love to have seen her move that egg!

She seems to be thinking about all this while on the ledge just outside of the nest box.
Maybe she is gathering strength to move the final egg.
