!!! Shift Change Observed!
March 26, 2012 - Etobicoke - Sun Life Centre
Kathy Reports:
Just did a quick spot check on our pair and was lucky enough to catch a shift change. It’s very cold this morning and as expected when I arrived at 7:15 no one was visible from the ground.
At 8:30 when I went out, Angel was on the cam looking like had just eaten as evidenced by her crop size. Approximately 2 minutes later I heard and saw Jack vocalizing from the nest box as he exited.
Angel immediately flew in a semi circle from the cam perch and climbed into the nest box, a bit of adjusting and I could see her wing tips as she assumed incubation position. Jack flew around to vocalize that he was leaving and flew to the north towards his other nest site.
I am now convinced 100% that we have full time incubation - I was sure yesterday but due to the disturbance at the site, I wanted to see more evidence. I am going to use Friday, March 23rd as the first date for start of incubation based on the behaviours I witnessed during the week.
It’s a guesstimate at this point but given she didn’t have eggs on March 16th - I’d say it’s a fair estimate and will give us a frame of reference as to when a hatch might occur.
