Video set up at Nest 29 April 610-810 600. 1 egg in nest 610. Start 624. ♀ 7m #1325 enters 627. Leaves → 736. ♀? wh-red/Mannr comes to hole, looks in, leaves. 741. ♀ 7m#1325 at hole, enters 766. Leaves 810. End 1400. 2 eggs (1 new) ♀1325 obviously laid the egg, either at 624-627 or 741-746. But who is the mystery bird that came by at 736? The resolution of the video was not great, so ♀1459 (Mv-Blk/Mv) would seem to be a good possibility, in which case tossing is still a possibility! The only candidate I could find whose bands matched better (given that the colors were fairly clear) is 9998 (Mv-Or/Mv), a 1985 Warps nestling last seen at CV Grande in March of 1986. You can see why I'm leaning toward ♀1459 despite her bands not looking quite right. Looks like I should do this again tomorrow morning if the weather's not to crummy!
