I returned to the nest site today and witnessed one bird sitting on the nest until the second flew in making an interesting croaking noise. The bird on the nest took off before the second bird landed. The second bird landed next to the nest, hopped up on the edge of the nest, and dipped its head into the nest and moved it around a bit. If I had to guess I would say it was turning eggs but I couldn't see for sure what it was doing. It then settled down on the nest and didn't budge for the fifteen minutes I remained.
