When I looked just now, it was Dad on the nest, but Mom flew in just as I flipped over there (I've left the video on all day; if nothing else, the birdsong and breezes make for lovely listening when I'm away from the computer).
I do get tickled at those two. Dad always arranges the eggs in a neat line, whereas as soon as it's her turn, she arranges them in a little triangle. She was doing a lot of listening this morning, and even tapped gently on one egg as if to say, "Mama's here!", but this afternoon seems mostly to be back to sitting. They have done more than the normal number of shift changes, though. I do wonder if that's typical behavior so close to hatching.
And hee... right now if you look closely at the upper right corner, way down on the ground you can see Shadowfax. *g* Or at least, the white horse from the farm where the nest is located.
