We have been anticipating the "egg hatching" this week. We estimate that the eggs were laid about 14 days ago.
The parents watch me with their beady little eyes when I peep out of the bathroom window. I hope they are beginning to feel ok about these humans that watch them. I have been very curious about how many eggs there are and this evening I noticed that neither of the parents was in the nest. I grabbed the camera and "egged on" by Mark I slipped around the side of the house and took a couple of photos. Just as I dashed back inside one of the parents came back to the nest and we could hear them telling me off for intruding. I sincerely hope they don't abandon the nest.
Two eggs and a lovely warm nest. What a responsibility the parents carry. What an awesome privilege to watch the cycle of life.
