Woww, great shot! Thanks, Wrightwood!

What a good mama. Do you think her and her hubby took a Lamaze class together? I thought her breathing method looked familiar. In all seriousness, that is truly amazing footage to watch. We are all lucky to get a little glimpse of Mother Nature in action. Thanks Wrightwood.

She had the 3rd in the last 30 minutes or so... Here is her third

Ah, I missed it! Checked every few minutes for the passed hour, but I missed that special moment...

What do you think? Will there be more?

KWBoy · « **Reply #44 on:** May 15, 05, 08:55:06 PM »

she should have another one or two...

Good job FunkyGorilla!

I edited your photo and put it on our server. It's recommended to use a jpg file rather than a bmp for quicker loading.

I'm still amazed that after the 1st egg she left it unattended the entire first night. So far it's a little more than 24 hrs between each egg.

Still 3 eggs at 11am 5-16-05

Let me check the DVR to see if I can spot anything.

Darn I lost the pool.

This is so cool to watch! I sure didn't know it took them all week to lay all their eggs. How long before they hatch?

The Steller Jay lays 3-5 greenish eggs with spots and a 16 day incubation period...

from http://www.bird-friends.com/BirdPage.php?name=Steller's%20Jay

So we could have one more...

I read it was 16-18 days for Stellar's Jay eggs to hatch.

Yes, me too! I thought they popped them out all at once. This is really cool to watch!

KWBoy · « **Reply #55 on:** May 17, 05, 12:40:50 AM »

I thought they came out all at once but i guess it would take a lot to push them out all at once and it would hurt alot too

That is so wonderful!
I look forward to watching them all hatch and grow.
