4/5/06 8:30 am "Get back under here!"	4/5/06 12:39pm SW in the "incubation trance" as described in Frightful's Mountain	4/6/06 7:08 pm "Ha! The site is going down for maintenance today!"
4/6/06 2:48 pm 8 minutes like this before Buckeye would move off the eggs.	4/7/06 3:41 pm "Don't mess with my eggs..."	4/7/06 4:08 pm Shift change
4/8/06 12:58 pm "Quiet down now, it's nap time."	4/8/06 3:41 pm "A little help down here please..."	4/8/ 6:10 pm "What IS that big silver thing up there? And I thought I flew fast!"
We are at T - 1 week and counting until hatch ... Watch for these behaviors ~ We will start seeing SW and Buckeye sitting on the eggs "higher", with their back slightly arched in a few days. They will also look like they are listening to sounds under them.

4/11/06 5:52 pm	4/12/06 We are convinced something is happening at the nest ... We are noticing the birds are standing up a lot and seem to be turning their head listening today. also, there were several times the adult's mouths were slightly open as though they were vocalizing. Look closely at the following pictures.	4/12/06 10:41 am SW

4/16/06 12:05 pm "OK, get ready, it's about time to make your appearance."	Our prediction is we should see eyases any day now ... A pip was reported in one egg with visible movement on the morning of 4/17/06 by Mr. Wright, ODNR nest monitor...	4/17/06 7:38 am "Knock, knock," "Who's there?"
4/17/06 11:36 am Buckeye takes a break ... can't see pip on camera.	4/17/06 5:08 pm "Can I get you anything ... a nice pigeon perhaps?"	4/17/06 7:48 pm No hatch in the today's light ...
