Looked as if she was carefully turning her eggs that she has been sitting on since forever....Only I'm not seeing any eggs...Several days later they both left that area...Never saw any babies,they ret'd a couple of days later, then left again. This is the 2nd yr there have been no babies at that nest site. Thought maybe they had gotten washed out last year, that didn't happen this year.Wonder if the neighbor has oiled the eggs. Only babies seen this year were the 5 that were in close to my docking area.
