First third of incubation complete!

As of today we are 1/3 of the way through incubation. We expect to see our first hatch in early May.

Astrid and Ares have been very careful to keep the eggs covered constantly. This is excellent since we have had colder than normal temps recently.

This is a short clip of them in what we like to call “changing of the guard”

We have a full clutch!!

Astrid laid the 4th – and we believe final – egg at 1:56 am on April 3rd. This is a short clip of what we like to call the changing of the guard. Astrid leaves and Ares takes over incubation on this cold morning.

Mating continues – will we see a fourth egg – seems likely!!!

Egg # 3 Arrives This Afternoon!!

We have egg number three! Astrid came into the box and relieved Ares not long before laying this egg. We don’t have the exact time yet, but we think it was laid around 12:15 – 12:30 ish. This is one of few eggs from all three seasons that was laid in the afternoon

Egg #2 has arrived!!

Last night at 8:53 pm Astrid laid the second egg of the 2016 clutch. She immediately settled down and covered both eggs for the night. Ares came to check on everyone early this morning.
