Here's the explanation.

Incredible time-lapse photography of the volcano (no lightning, but still phenomenal)!

Archer, "But, WHY?"

And Archer wants to know why? Poor guy!

 

Beauty very noisy at 5:20, talking to them.

She made a great alarm clock, except in my dream I was looking for playing puppies! It took a second to realize that it was Beauty in real life!

I went through the archives, but I didn't see any view of Archer - I wonder if he showed up and she was telling him, "NO WAY!" at 5:20?
 

I wasn't fast enough, but mom is acting weird and when she just got up and turned ...  did I see white ???

Still three eggs at 9:31 pm, but mom has been shifting around a lot this evening/early morning.

Archer really didn't want off those eggs - he fluffs up almost as big as Beauty! It took 5 minutes for her to talk him off! (lol Colleen T... great minds!)

12:47, success, but Archer didn't like it!

 

Won't they have imprinted on the owl? Will they recognize a mama duck's cry?
