Things are going their way overhere. Incubation seems to be progressing normally. Overall, the weather this spring has been warmer than average including several very bright, sunny days. Scout appears to be panting from time to time. This is correct-she does sometimes pant and if you have noticed, stands over the eggs to shade them instead of setting tight on them. This is because of the extremely warm temperatures. The nest box faces south and especially on a sunny day, it can be quite warm up on the 41st floor nesting ledge. So, to compensate, Scout regulates the temperature of the eggs by standing over them and to cool herself, she pants. These behaviors are normal.
