Well, I finally got images up! Too bad they're for 3 entries back...better late than never. I did take some pics of the three new arrivals, but they didn't come out well so I won't bother with them until I get something better.
If I'm going to establish gender amongst the birds based on nest-attendance, I may have to revise. For one thing, Tina may have to be renamed Not-Tina. She seems to tend the nest like a he. Her pure white mate was on the eggs in the night (I peeked, since the dogs had me outside to attend their urination at 4:30 am!)
Woo, the diligent gatherer of trophy twigs, was on the nest at the same time, as was Beauty. That pretty much settles it, unless there's no egg(s) yet in Woo's nest which could mean anybody can sleep there. Most likely, I had the genders all wrong. Twice, since I was convinced until 2 weeks ago they all were male!
It's like having a magic window into another species's life. Egad! I'm a voyeur!
