Day 15 — Incubation day six continues

Today, June 12, marks Day 6 of incubation. The female began the day as a low-contrast tucked shape at 00:02, and she remained on the nest for the longest absence from the cup, a 24-minute period between 07:56 and 08:20.

The male visited the incubating female at 05:44, and later, a feeding visit was recorded at 08:48. Capture coverage for the day ended at 17:21. Synchronous hatch is expected in 7 days, between June 19 and 21.

Highlight of the day

At 05:44 PT, an adult House Finch is observed incubating eggs within a nest constructed inside a white, curved structure.
