User's notes
At least two eggs. (Presumably) the female sat on the nest while the male was out feeding. As the male approached the female dragged litter to cover the eggs before going out to feed herself. The male didn't actually sit on the nest but kept feeding nearby and periodically checking on the nest until the female returned.
