M15 & F23 are both on egg duty playing musical chairs with who gets to incubate the eggs at night! M15 took over the beginning shift at dusk and was happy to be on his eggs. F23 was taking time off being on the attic. She will decide it is time to drop down to the nest and take over incubation duties for their first switcheroo of the night. This is the beginning of multiple incubation changes with M15 dropping down for some egg time, F23 getting up and then later dropping down and so forth.

They are so funny because they both keep waking up the other when they came to the nest and had to nudge, dig or shove the other off the eggs to get their turn! It is F23 that ultimately wins with the last change just after 5am. M15 wakes up on the attic and F23 on the nest in the morning!

M15 flies off at daybreak to the DSPS. He sees a palm frond in his sight and he flies off to grab it on the fly misses and flies towards the office oak and then the next thing we know he is flying to the nest with a bunch of grasses! And where do you think he puts them? lol on F23's back! She gets up and carries some of the grasses with her on the go! M15 will take over incubation duties and F23 flies to the church snag to preen and take a break!

I think you can see from my video that M15 & F23 are an extremely dedicated couple to caring for their eggs and the little future E's to be ♥ Can't wait for those bobbleheads! Thank you for watching!
