[QUOTE="megalomaniac, post: 5892952, member: 2805"] Normally, she would be back in an hour or so. However the timing of when you bumped her off is not ideal... basically right at fly up time in the evening. I suspect she ended up roosting in a tree overnight, in which case the eggs would have completely cooled down to ambient temps overnight. That's pushing the envelope for successful incubation and she won't waste time or energy setting on eggs that won't hatch. [/QUOTE]
