The Norths’ egg has broken

The Norths’ lone egg broke on March 21 at about 3:00 PM. We posted about the lone egg and intraspecific intruders at the North nest on March 16: https://www.raptorresource.org/2023/03/16/nest-guarding-and-intraspecific-intrusions/.

Given that the egg wasn’t viable, this is good news. It is early enough that the North’s might be able to reclutch/recycle. The two have been nestorating and copulating, and Mr. North has been bringing food gifts. We’ll see what happens!
