And I Khaught It!!!

Lookie What We Khaught Today!!!
As I told Gus, timing is evfurrything when it khomes to getting lukhky with pikhs!

3/26/2009 :: Third Egg!The third egg was delivered at exactly 11:48 AM, today, March 26th 2009. From this point on, incubation activity will be more frequent and of longer duration. This "hard wired" behavioral strategy helps to ensure that as the young birds grow and develop, hatchlings from the first and second eggs will not be much larger and more aggressive than the others. If the first and second egg were incubated from the beginning, the nestlings would develop faster and be much larger putting the others at a disadvantage.

  3. Way to go! How cool is that?! DawgMom says she is never that lucky, she keeps trying to catch the deer when they show up at our house in the woods, but she never signs on to the cameras at the right time, all she's seen so far is a couple of crows!
