9 eggs and a Presumed Nest

Site 9 (4 eggs), Site 4 (5 eggs), and Site 3.

Site 9, first egg was March 26th, and currently there are 4 eggs that should be hatching in about a week.

Site 4, first egg was March 22nd and currently there are 5 eggs that should be hatching any day now, also a nice night video of a raccoon investigating the nest, hopefully the squirrel resistance will be enough to thwart the other predators as well. Pay attention to the top right, see the owl fly to attack the raccoon, and turn volume up and listen to the defensive bill clacking.

Site 3, presumed nest, if so this is the male that spends most if not all day in entrance as not to crowd the female on eggs.
