Weather Conditions: Clear blue sky with light wind from the south. Temp. 65.
Other Activity: Male comes flying in from trees on the Island. This happens not very often. I just assume there are eggs in the nest because the female never leaves.

General Comments: Any advise for me from someone as to how I can try to determine (see) what is in the nest. My guess is they have eggs but this is only because the female stays on the nest.
