Gracie is the perfect picture of patience. I've seen her leave the nest to stretch twice in the past three days.

This is a girl who's used to zipping around at 175-200 mph.

I haven't seen George, and I haven't seen her eat anything yet. I might have to join the message board there to find out the best times to watch for other things.

The picture is poor, but I haven't noticed her yawn, either. Do all birds yawn? Lucy does, bigger'n Dallas, and loudly, too.

I read that Gracie started full-time incubation of her four eggs on or about March 10. They should hatch about 33 days after that.

Poor thing doesn't have thumbs to twiddle.
