blah

hatching takes such a ridiculously long time. 3 days ago things started to happen. we all got excited. so much so, that i came to work at 3:30 yesterday morning to be on nest watch. did anything happen. no. one hatched a few hours before i got there and then one just after i left. flew up the sinbad to look for nests. nothing. despite my best sneezing efforts. no nests. did find another one at monkey creek. but will have to steal those eggs again next week. sneezed and dripped my way around work again today. missed the fourth hatching by minutes again. in charge because everyone else off sick. me also sick. ducklings cute. feeling too crap to bust out the camera. or even get excited. have to work again tomorrow. can't shake this pathetic self-pitying crap. blah.....
