Ward
has stepped up his hunting dramatically so that June was able to
spend a typical day in the nest box. Her incubation was interrupted only
by the following events:
-3am: Last food delivery of the night.
-5:30 am: Left nest for a 10 minute break on a nearby branch.
-10 am: Ward called home with a classic hoot and she responded.
- 8pm: Greeted first food delivery of the night with wild squeals
- 8pm to 11:30 pm: Three more food deliveries.
Things appear to be going very well after a few shaky days and June is sleeping quietly. Ward is no longer reluctant to approach the nest and June is doing very little whining. (11:30pm)
