Congrats on the 6 eggs, Sue. Isis used to lay her eggs consistently between 2AM and 5AM. I never picked any out until she seemed done laying the whole clutch, as I didn't want to interrupt her "trance". I think they are like Sea Turtles in this respect, and need not to be interrupted. I'd cover her glass so that she doesn't see outside movement and hope she goes back in the box. Your nestbox is pretty unique! I might try that. Keep us posted! Tom Greb says that sometimes they will continue to lay even two days after, but the watching and waiting for the human gets pretty intense! Good luck to your girl!! Maureen
