Very sweet to see her squirming and fussing to get comfortable and properly cover all the eggs.

Thanks for posting!

More Chickadee Nesting behavior

Thanks for the update. I adore chickadees!

I watched most of the video (my attention span is shortish) - it seems that incubating eggs (at least for chickadees) is not a matter of just plopping down on the eggs and dozing off. There's a lot of twitching and wriggling and rearranging the eggs and eating snacks brought by the male.

I counted nine eggs during one of her times off the nest. I hope all goes well and we get to see hatching and fledging.
