ah, and just like that they're all gone.
I saw the female sneak over and eat a few before being chased away by the male who was guarding the eggs the entire time. Often times I also saw the male get completely vertical and ram his head into the rock 3-4 times. On the last ram he actually ate a few of the eggs. It looked like he was hitting the rock to see if any of the eggs moved. I wonder what that meant.
