B took it, DC in to eggs right away.

... and a few other surprises ...

... the ever-present house and sculptures ...

... a few flowers and a brave fly...

I finally got to go on Memorial Day, and with the hot weather, there were almost no peonies... but there were a lot of other interesting things, including some wildlife...

B in and on, chatting to her eggs

DC's not moving.

B out, DC in and on in less than 30 seconds!

B back in @ 9:24 and eggs all covered!

B on se corner 9:21
 

Shaky had noted that the tiercels always enter the nest box on the left. Dot.Ca tried a different tactic today-probably trying to get her to give him an early turn.  Look at Beauty as he comes in on the wrong side!

He looks pretty darn proud of himself afterward, too! It worked!

DC just kicked B out of nb 8:20
   

DC was sitting up on the building, NE corner. Cam 4 caught him leaving.

A bit of still video of yesterday's nestbox stand-off - DC had already been ignoring Beauty out on the SE corner for 15 minutes before she stepped up the pressure by coming to the crossbar. DC demonstrated some gutsiness for the next 20 minutes!

DC has got the, "If I ignore you, you will go away." attitude down to a tee!
