Next check of FW/PK with unmarked F, left only one broken at added egg, F ad O still in area, Tegeer still in one piece. Next check at FW/OK w/FK, F not on eggs but both F and C each near nest. F appears to go to the car and then dash off, inside of car warm at 0827 hrs. Temperatures at mid-day have approached 90F, I believe the eggs added in the coffee cans during the time it takes for F to habituate.
Found nest of (at least 2nd since fledglings are in the area) wh/FW PK/RO ad unmarked F, did not fieldle with nest. Eggs cool but F in area chirping
