Day 8 — Day N — Steady incubation with one courtship feeding and a brief human visit

By 10:55 the female is on the nest, deep in the cup. A short midday gap follows — at 11:52 the cup is briefly empty with one egg visible — before she returns by 11:54, partly hidden behind the spine of Shoe Dog. She is back settled at 12:34, with unusually pronounced red on the head and chest for a female. At 13:50 the male appears, perched on the adjacent books while she sits; the clip captures courtship feeding. She continues incubating through 13:58. A late-afternoon break runs from roughly 17:11 to 17:22. At 17:11 she’s off, with a small bird perched on a horizontal bar well to the right of the nest. At 17:21 the cup shows three eggs and a person passes through frame; at 17:22 a human arm and head are close to the nest area, apparently doing something near the camera. The Wyze clip at 17:22:47 is blurry and overexposed, with a stray frame stamped 2026-05-07 — likely a camera bump or clock glitch around the time of the human interaction. She is back on the eggs by 17:41 and stays put through 17:42. At 18:40 the cup is briefly empty again with the male visible…
