1. Upon my arrival, Luna was outside, three eggs… then she returned.
   Pretty purple Infrared.

   Right corner cache is gone or moved. Suspect prey sets by the ruler.

   

2. Luna was trying to catch a fly buzzing around. She was trying to catch it with her beak!

   

3. A very good look at one of Luna’s brood feathers. Behind the feather, her cache of prey. She’s resting and looks comfy in the nest box.

   

4. Luna is stunning as ever. She had a wonderful night and her morning looks just as promising! I saw two eggs when she moved around.

   

5. Soon as I posted the image and refreshed, she’s back. Panting n wide awake! Springtime!

6. Luna is out again enjoying the night, 3 eggs n prey tucked away for later.

   

7. Luna is out again, enjoying the evening. 3 eggs great! Food for tomorrow… Or tonight.

   

8. Luna is energized, this is amazing!

   

9. He is back, third time and it’s just after 10:pm. Luna was panting after eating, now more for the cache.

   

10. He returned minutes later and delivered second food drop, which she enjoyed!

    

11. As he was leaving.

    

12. Noche brings his Luna a mouse/vole. Fantastic! First time this season I’ve seen him deliver a food drop! She was very excited. Very nice.

    

13. Noche visits n Luna flies off with him!

    

14. Luna sounds like she has hiccups.

15. She was off the eggs for a short while. Still 3 eggs. She just made two high pitch short squeaks.

16. She was chewing, rotating and it’s been 3 days.. Egg Watch still on!

17. The large dogs will help keep the nest area even more safe, trust that.

21. She left then they were hooting n calling together, monkey calls n whistles! She’s back now!

22. Third time tonight, she’s flown out.

23. She was curiously looking around, wonder what she could hear…

    

24. Beautiful. A great day and evening too.

    

25. Luna left twice. Returned after short outings. She had been staring upwards and looking around a lot, but seems settled now. Will add a couple photos of her…
