I saw a tail sticking out of the hanging basket in the WB cage this morning. It was a surprise because a few days ago they trashed the nest and tossed the bedding. When I went out a little bit ago the mouser was out of the nest, so I took a (lousey) pix thru the top of the basket nest...and there was an egg partially covered with moss.
I have a SVAT baby monitor, and a couple of cameras that can read from it, so I'll have to set it back up so that I can watch them. It came in handy when the WB first bred for me. I kept the monitor in the house next to the computer, and I got to see if there were any problems going on. Once, I noticed an egg got separated from the clutch and moved it back, and another time a baby wandered to the nest edge, and it was too little to survive long if it got chilled. And in using the monitor I can see when the parents are off the nest and how many eggs, when they hatch etc., without pestering the parents
It is an awful rainey day in South FL, so seeing the egg brightened my day
