Bird update

When I left the VA Wednesday afternoon I noticed someone had put a circle of larger red rocks around the nest so no one would step on it. The nest was unattended, which I had never seen before. I wondered if they had left because they didn't like the rock circle. A storm was coming in and the wind was blowing hard. I felt sad and thought that was probably it for the eggs. It ended up snowing that night (although it didn't stick).



I trudged in the next day, dreading seeing the destroyed nest. But lo an behold she was back. The male had joined them later that afternoon.


I didn't work at the VA Friday or this weekend. I'm at the university tomorrow but I'll have to make a special trip to check on the birds.
