Why is it that all the fathers get scolded for wanting to incubate or brood?  :-\
Pour guys!  ::)

Perhaps more waking him up rather than scolding him ... he seems often to be napping when he's incubating.   ;)   They really are a lovely couple to watch, very in sync with one another

Well, I would say since the beginning of time the men hunt, work, forage for food. We, as women nest and yes, care for the kids. However, we ARE in the 21st century and the times, they are changing. He is up for change, she, not so much! ::)

Ty and Beatrix appear to be pretty evenly dividing the incubating duties right from the beginning.  This morning was particularly cute, he didn't want to leave (or get up from his comfy scrape) and he kept turning his head away and ignoring Beatrix when she came to take over.  He stayed "in bed" until 0830h then they traded spots with her have a bit of a yak at him as he leisurely left.

That's great to hear! Then they should have a very successful nest this year! :D

As I was returning from shopping around 9:45, I was able to catch a view of both Beatrix and Ty. One, I think Beatrix on the East side roof and Ty sitting on a letter on the South side.  ;D

As of yesterday morning, we had four eggs here and incubation is in full swing.  Interestingly, or to me at least, Ty is more like his father and grand-father than any of their other sons/grandsons in that he is incubating a great deal.  T-Rex used to push his females off eggs so he could incubate, and Trey had worked out an agreement with both of his mates, share and share alike.  Looks like Beatrix and Ty have a lot of the best qualities of both their parents!!

First egg for Beatrix and Ty as of yesterday morning.  I was on the road for work yesterday so I didn't find it until the this morning.  Because of the box's position, we can't see into the box in the afternoon if it is a sunny day, so we'll be sure to check on them in the mornings for the next week.

Next egg should arrive tomorrow, a third perhaps the 27th and incubation should begin then.  Since they are both relatively young birds, I would expect to see a full nest here, so a fourth egg on the 28th.  If this timeline is correct, expect to see chicks the first week of June.
