SWFEC 12-25-23. Compilation of moments with M15 & F23 through Christmas break.

Описание: Video is a compilation of some of the moments I was able to catch (not able to edit) while on Christmas break. Video includes moments from 12-22-23 through 12-25-23.

Video opens with F23 in the orange glow of the rising sun. M15 arrives from his roost spot for the morning incubation switch. Views from 12-22-23 include incubation switches, close-ups, a look at the nest material covering Cam2, close-up look at the precious eggs, and F23's late return for the overnight incubation switch. Two nesting material deliveries are covered for 12-23-23. There are incubation switches and close-ups for 12-24-23. On 12-25-23, a rainy day, M15 delivers a partial (headless) fish for F23. Time stamps below, if interested. Click on any time stamp to advance to that part.
