Box 2 female seems to be trying to settle something in her crop? Repeatedly opening mouth wide like she wants to hack. Saw her doing this multiple times late morning.

Yes! It’s exciting! Hoping we can see early piping! Blurred lens, distance of eggs from lens and dirt speckling on eggs can make it challenging. Maybe camera will treat us with some close ups.🙂
