There are two nests that I am aware of. The one I was watching the other
day is on the lilypads about a third of the way from the Bathhouse theater
to the Aqua theater. There are four eggs in there that I could see. I
think the nest you are referring to is further along but I will pay more
attention to Aurora landmarks next time I go--hopefully tomorrow since you
say the eggs may hatch pretty soon. I am excited to see those little stripy
babies. Never seen them before. I am glad the eggs are OK. I was worried
it was going on too long.
