Day 1 — Sparse iPhone coverage; female on nest by evening

Coverage today is mostly hand-held iPhone shots, with one clip from the bookshelf camera at the end of the day.

A short burst of iPhone photos around 16:06 shows the nest empty. Egg counts in these frames vary — three eggs visible at 16:06:01, two at 16:06:20, 16:06:22, and 16:06:23 — likely an artifact of angle and the dried-grass cup partially hiding the clutch rather than a real change. A clearer iPhone shot at 17:24 shows all five pale-blue speckled eggs in the cup, with the nest unattended.

At 21:13, an iPhone photo shows the female on the nest, incubating.

The bookshelf camera clip at 22:16 catches the nest empty again, with all five eggs visible across the frames. No human presence, predator activity, or other disturbance is recorded today.

Pipeline: No infrastructure changes this day.
