2/13 pm egg watch


1211 Bella returns seem to find a morsel of food at 1215 munching on something I hear they're ripping of something or possibly just tearing at the sticks. She stands around like a statue maybe waiting for her love to show! Or are we waiting for eggs to show lol!
1235 pm Bella looks ready. Her coat feathers are fluffed a bit like she could be in labor. She looks a bit uncomfortable.
1238 pm Bella moves over to the egg cup area. She rests a bit and digs a bit loosing up the floor of the egg cup.
1241 pm Scout arrives with bedding for Bella. Bella arranges the bedding Scout watches her.
1243 pm On the overhead cam it looks like we can see some snow and ice deep within the egg cup; it is visible when Bella digs with her beak to soften the floor of the nest.
1244 pm Scout exits the nest.
1246 pm Bella snaps off the end of a branch. There is a large pile of bedding in the egg cup region.
