Poor Christo gets the $%*& scared out of him!

 

It’s been hard to get a shot of Dora and Christo together lately. Dora’s been endlessly vigilant on the nest while Christo is out and about. The only interactions they’ve had have been quick swap outs for egg incubation and snack drop-off. Christo also has been keeping another raptor at bay today.

This just in: 3 eggs in the nest!

Dora and Christo have done it again! 3 eggs last year and 3 again this year. Full update from Goggla. Can’t wait to see some eyasses by early May.

Amazing! 180 degree head rotation. Take that, owls!

A hawk beak and talons. It’s what I have to work with. Don’t judge.

Dad helps with egg-sitting.

Christo took on some egg-sitting responsibilities today.  He was on the nest for one and a half hours while Dora was away.  Here he is just before he leaves to find Dora (perhaps?).  She returned a few minutes later.
