SWFEC 12-17-23. Windy Day Topples F23 on the Nest; M15 Delivers an Air Plant; F23 Close-up views.

Описание: Video opens with an early morning view of M15 incubating and F23 on the spike after a long night of rain and windy conditions. F23 moves to the veranda for a preening session. F23 leaves, and M15 incubates/rests. We have an incubation switch, M15 to F23. M15 returns later with an air plant, Cam1/360 Cam (I accidentally edited out the clip of F23 leaving). M15 takes over incubation, and CamOps takes a close look at his head feathers, which look better after yesterday's rain. After another incubation switch, the wind catches F23's tail feathers, causing her to tumble on the nest. Replay in slo-mo. F23 resumes incubating, and now has a few wonky feathers on her left wing (she gets them straight later). CamOps provides a close look at F23's wonky feathers, as well as the rest of her feathers. Time stamps below, if interested. Click on any time stamp to advance to that part.
