Gertrude (post #1711) is sitting on a dozen eggs. We've been bringing her bread soaked in water. At first, she wouldn't eat until we left, now she's happy to see us. Yesterday she got up off the nest to show us her eggs.

We spoke to the guy mowing and thanked him for going around the nest.
Went to check on Gertrude last night and she wasn't home. Her eggs were covered with down feathers. We were getting ready to leave when she flew in. She came from behind so I wasn't ready for a shot.
