I have noticed several times today that, during the day, Beauty talked to the eggs as she was shifting around and/or turning them.
However, this evening after dark, she has not talked to the eggs while she was shifting or turning them the two times I have seen her - I've just heard her rustling about.
Is this a known behavior? And, could it be that it starts the programming of the circadian rhythms for the developing eyases?
Or, by the end of the day, is she just too tired to talk?
Anyone?
This is our first year with sound during incubation. I've noticed Beauty consistently talks to the eggs every time she returns from a break, including at night. Talking to them when she rolls them has been more spotty. I'll have to pay attention to see if she's doing it more regularly now. Archer doesn't talk to them at all. I've never heard anyone mention it at other nests with sound, but streaming video is relatively new.

As Carly said, it is known to hear the eggs peeping & the adults responding once the eyas breaks through the air cell in the egg before hatching. Hope we get to hear that this year!
Congratulations!
