Cherryhead "Red".. has been busy -

[Redfoot NERD]

Her second clutch for the '09 season was laid on 9/17/08.. and I expected hatchlings sometime in mid-late January. So I wasn't really paying much attention to that clutch. But last night when I checked that incubator I found this little guy almost out of the egg! Here he is in his "nursery" incubator now. Not a lot of light used for this pic -

...... And I saw that typical "spider" break in one of his siblings' eggs about an hour ago!

And if that wasn't enough.. She has been 'scratching' around in the cypress in the 'table' for maybe 10 days now..... and wouldn't do anything in the nest box! FINALLY tonight.. [ when I wasn't looking ].. so this is all of the pics that I got -

Cleaned up and coded for the incubator dish -

Fits nicely in the 5" square 'take-along' in damp coarse vermiculite -

She's been busy.. has 3 new babies in the past few weeks.
