New Nests!

We found 2 new nests today for the first time since day 1! And Shane (the other tech) and I found one without Rich for the first time, which is a good milestone. We were in this huge compartment and had been there for several hours when I heard a feeding-pass along one edge. Shane and I trudged over there and started combing the area. We were only 30 feet away when the female popped up and we were quickly able to spot 4 eggs. Go us! Especially me. Go me!

The forest is huge and predators like falcons tend to be at low densities, so we do a lot of fruitless searching. It was nice to have some results again. Woohoo!
