Scratch that last post

Yesterday,Monday 4/19, about 5 nests were visibly occupied, some by one bird some by two.

Now I am wondering if female birds were flying off the nest because the eggs had not been laid. Or if the laying birds hunker down in the nest in such a manner that they can't be seen.

At least: construction can't begin this season (is my understanding of "the rules," whatever they are. Laws? I'll tell the biological powers that be.

With any luck, people will post here pertinent observations, particularly sightings of eagles or other raptors. Send then as comments.
