Some of you may know we've been keeping egg brooding shift charts since 2002. You can find the historical charts at Shaky's web page http://shakymon.com/rfc-info.html (http://shakymon.com/rfc-info.html)
So...where are we now in the big scheme of things?
2010 (Beauty & Archer) 2012 (Beauty & Dot.ca) 2013 (Beauty & Dot.ca)
I'll update this as we head into the final few weeks.

I'll bet the bars for May 16&17 look a little different.

Looks like the 18th too. No break from egg sitting for Beauty today so far and no food yet. Where's DC?

I would say protecting the territory from take over. For all we know UT2 is sitting somewhere nearby that they can see. Dot did seem agitated when he arrived. And he's perched places we're not accustomed to seeing him. Where the heck is the Time Warner communication tower?
It has also been my observation over the years that the length of the shift doesn't seem to matter. Dot was here this morning alone with the eggs for 4 minutes. To Beauty that's a full shift.

Right now, we don't know where DC is and what's going on-apparently no watchers out at this time.

The same thought crossed my mind about him seeing UT2 somewhere..maybe at periphery of the territory even.
Miss Pigott already showed us there is a way to sneak in with her little nest box adventure that one day.

yes good job I think it should be marked on there like you did with the hatches about Dot being in territory fight. Being the reason he was missing those couple days. We remember now, but in a couple years who knows. CRS can hit at any time :whistle:
