Mr is incubating the eggs now. I missed seeing him come in this morning. The area seems to be foggy.

Mr got up and walked around the nest a bit to give us a great view of the eggs. Then he very carefully got back on the eggs to keep them warm and wait on Mrs to return home.

Mrs just got home and Mr left. Mrs is almost acting like she's making sure Mr took good care of the eggs. ;)

8:17 Mr. comes in with nest material, manages to poke Mrs. with a stick, and she leaves.

8:37 Mr. arranges material around the nest bowl, and rolls the eggs.

9:12 Mr. calls out and leaves the nest.
9:14 Mrs arrives at the nest for shift change. She moves a stick out of the way, fluffs some nest bowl material, and wiggles in to settle her brood patch over the eggs.
