Marion Nash Reports:

Sally and I have been checking in on our family here for the past week as Quest and Mystery Guy are expecting any day! For the most part, its been a pretty quiet watch but, during these difficult times, it makes me feel well, normal. And gives me the uplift I need to know that life goes on and all really will be ok again. Anyways…spent quite a bit of the day there yesterday, it was a beautiful day , so why not? Bob stopped by, great to see him! Sally came, always great to see her :). I got some great shots of Mystery Guy, Quest for the most part was hunkered down. I was just getting ready to leave when Dad came in for the shift change and I grabbed my camera up and got a so so pic of her heading out of the nest box! She was on a mission..grabbed the food from Dad and was gone. Dad settled in for his turn.

Today was kinda yucky, rain and all, but I decided to take a quick late afternoon trip over to check them out. And I think it was worth it. Mom of course was in the box but this time when Dad came, she would not budge. He stayed for a few minutes as if to say–are you sure?? Then he flew off to hang out two windows over and there he stayed. I have been watching them all week and this was the first time she did not do an exchange….hmmmm :) I also saw Quest seem to pick something up and seem to eat it…maybe the shell??? I will keep dropping by until I see a feeding to be sure. And I am sure Sally will join me(socially distancing of course) next weekend to hopefully get some pics of some bobbleheads!!!

Stay tuned…stay safe
