Dec 19 2021 Nest Visit

[NotToofast]

Both Jewel and Pride in the nest area, sharing duties...First Pic is Pride, perched in one of his favorite spots by the 208 st corner

While Pride is in watching duty, Jewel is on nest duty...That behavior is clear indication of eggs in the nest...

Even more, Jewel spent a great deal of time grooming the nest...and thought eggs are not visible from the ground, some of the movements of Jewel suggest she did rotate the eggs..

The Nest was constructed on the very same spot of the previous season...(That nest eventually failed)...This nest is equally precarious and looks smaller...
..An all the time Jewel was in the nest, her mate was nearby, ready to exchange duties or for whatever task Jewel commands...
