We are halfway to hatch! Exciting times are in store for M15 & F23 as they enter the last two weeks of incubation before the eggs begin hatching!
The video opens with F23 on the nest after spending the entire night incubating the eggs with no switcheroos from M15. ♥ M15 arrives in the morning to take over and F23 goes to the Church snag to preen. She then goes to the pond and we have the HERD grazing in the pasture behind her with all six horses seen! She climbs up on the cement block to perch 0 a horse ultimately will flush her out she flies to the office oak a beautiful flight over the water.

We have a day of incubation changes and then F23 is on the eggs for evening shift. M15 flies off but returns at 8:42pm to take over. He has to dig around F23 and nudge her to get up off the eggs but she finally does and goes to the attic. M15 snuggles down on the eggs his happy place.

It was a windy night they both seemed restless and F23 came back down to the nest after only 17 minutes and took over incubation. M15 went to the attic but came back down to the nest 6 minutes later. This time F23 refused to get up even though M15 pulled out his tricks to get her up even nuzzling her head feathers. M15 ended going back to the attic but he flew off right away towards the office oak. He remained here for the rest of the night. Thank you for watching!
