Buzzard setting

Story # 100, O. T.

Setting…


      The buzzards that come to nest in my barn for the third year have one egg this year


      The pair takes turns setting on the egg ---- or at least I think they do ---- the male and female look alike.


      They are truly putting all their eggs in one basket.  The first year, two eggs hatched.  Last year, two eggs ---- one hatched.  This year, only one egg.


      The birds have been setting, non-stop for three weeks.  It has been cold here so I hope the egg has been kept warm enough.


      Time will tell if a chick emerges or they abandon the egg.
