Carol B and Fran B report: saw the bird in nest yesterday, preening itself. This nest is very difficult to observe, but we do think incubation has been occurring but cannot pin point the date. We will make a tentative guess of April 5 based on an observation and will adjust it if we can determine when the youngsters hatch.

based on the reports, we are guessing that incubation is underway. May 1st is just a guess.
