I can't stop myself


As soon as my camera was working, I went directly to the nest, and the bird caught me. I am much taller than Cashmere and was able to focus my camera, while her shots were blindly point and click. I get the strangest feeling when I look at this nest and the eggs - like how your stomach feels just before the cars make the first drop on a roller coaster ride.

I intend to leave them alone, but the eggs incubate in 12-19 days, (depending on species?). It would be neat to get video of them hatching but it would be awful to drive the mother crazy (no one knows whether or not males help with the eggs or offspring.)
