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.
Teamwork: Caring for the egg
Dora calling for Christo.
After a few minutes, Christo arrives and starts checking on the egg while Dora surveys the scene.
They both leave the nest for about 8 minutes. Dora returns, checks out Christo soaring above, then settles back on the egg.
The first egg is here!
Thanks to Goggla (again!) we can now confirm that there is one egg in the nest.
Christo and Dora.
Dora yells “Wait for me!” to the bus.
Helicopters above, buses below…
Webcam still mostly blocked, helicopters above, buses below…Dora on the move.
Now streaming live!
Thanks to Goggla, who is an amazing bird photographer, I learned that there is now a live stream directly above the AC unit nest so you can watch the hawks 24/7. Enjoy!
Is that a coffee cup?
Whatever works, Dora!
The nest progression over two weeks.
They didn’t build every day.
