Yesterday I came home and Betty had been scared away from her nest so I finally got to get a picture of her nest. Usually when she leaves she covers up the eggs so I can't see them but since she was scared I could sneak a quick pic.
I could see ten eggs. There could be more somewhat hidden but all I could see was ten. I would post a pic of Betty but it would be exactly the same as the last one I posted. She sits on the nest for about 23 hours a day as far as I can tell. There have been some insane rain storms and she diligently sits there. I admire her stamina honestly. She still watches me somewhat distrustingly but she'll listen while I talk to her and I believe she's convinced I'm not going to hurt her now.

That is so sweet. Better watch out for her when those eggs hatch though - she's going to get more protective of them! You might want to exit out your back door at that point. ;)
This is so sweet-how long before they hatch?
