Feathering the nest
Apr 13th, 2008 by Chris
As expected, when we checked this morning there was a second egg in the nest. Imagine our horror then when we turned on the television this evening to find the eggs gone! Or were they?
Closer inspection revealed that Karma had carefully hidden them using feathers. Not so much buried them, as camouflaged them. She’s been in and out most of the day, often bringing in new feathers or rearranging feathers to get just the effect she wants. By late this afternoon they were almost impossible to distinguish from their surroundings on the black and white camera.
