Field Notes D. A. Bell May 3, 1990 position, I looked away. Only to peek back when she had already stood up and moved back another 180° to her original position - facing out from cliff. Then she stood up and pushed eggs further under her belly. I think I saw all 3 eggs. 12:37 : ♀ stood up, moved eggs with bill. Unfortunately, I looked too late, still think I saw only 2 eggs. 13:37 : Female just hopped off the nest as I looked in. All 3 eggs in full view in "empty" nest. The ternel was on the nest w/in a minute, and settled on the eggs. No sign of hatching.
