Day Three - Three Eggs. And raccoons & Possums

A third egg was laid in the nest this morning.  Happens about the same time each day - 6:30ish.

We also had a very polite raccoon waiting its turn - and a raccoon and possum nicely sharing..

The raccoons are now regulars during the day.

Bird Nest Update

A second egg was laid in the nest this morning.  After checking information yesterday, it seems that it is likely an egg a day will be laid until the whole clutch is laid, then the mother will incubate them until they hatch.  So, hopefully, more eggs to come.....

All Day Raccoon.......

We had a raccoon day yesterday.  This one seemed to be around all day.

The cat in the background was waiting for birds to come down - and just watched the raccoon walk through.  The raccoon wasn't so happy when it saw the cat......

Raccoons all day long......

We have raccoons over night, in the afternoon, and now this one this morning at about 8:30am.

Soon, they look at me as I go outside and ask what I'm doing in THEIR backyard :-)

Lots of activity yesterday.....

Lots going on yesterday.  We had three evening raccoons at about 6:00pm.  There is a bird nesting in out bird house.  It has been building its nest - and now seems to be sitting in more and more.  Hopefully we will see eggs and then hatchlings.  The humming birds were also visiting.
