I measured the eggs in the nest of "33" and
"43" today, as follows: (total = 3 eggs).
1. 15.6 x 21.9 (max width x max length)
2. 15.2 x 21.8
3. 15.3 x 23.1
Each egg was light greenish-white with
brown spots -- the spots concentrated on
the large end. The nest was measured:
inner diameter = 67 mm.
Both "33" and "43" took off as I measured
the eggs, and "33" went back to the
nest between each egg very quickly,
they settled down quickly and saw "43"
gave flight calls when "33" was back
on the nest. I was able to touch
and stroke the head = back of "33"
as she sat on the nest -- she needed
to be prodded before moving off. The
other cells were o.k. -- still no
nesting by "40" & "06". Some fighting
notes were heard in the cell with
273, 274, 305 & 306. "301" and 302 still
tegging from "59" -- . All birds
continue to eat pine nuts and not
the sunflower seeds, and I don't think
they're eating any sunflower.
