These are the trying times – for Ozzie and Harriet and for those who watch and wait with Harriet while she incubates her eggs. At least, that’s what we infer she’s doing from her lying low in the nest for hours, with only the top of her head occasionally visible.
That’s what she was doing when Ozzie did a brief fly-in during yesterday’s cold and drizzly morning, shown above. He soon left the nest and perched in a nearby tree. (Images taken in Brooklin, Maine, on May 19, 2022.)
