Day 13 — Day N — Hatch confirmed; chicks visible from dawn

The overnight clips begin as steady incubation, with the female settled low in the cup through the early morning. At 06:13, the first clear hatch evidence appears: a Tapo motion clip shows the female in the cup, a pale egg-like oval, and multiple small pinkish shapes consistent with newly hatched chicks in the final frame. A 06:14 interval clip also shows chick-like shapes partly visible beneath her.

By 07:06, the cup is briefly unattended and shows two pale eggs and two fuzzy, rounded chicks. At 07:47, another empty-cup view shows two eggs and one newly hatched chick. From that point forward, adult-on-cup clips are better treated as brooding rather than incubation, even when the chicks are covered by the female.

The day remains active. The male visits repeatedly, including feeding/provisioning clusters around 10:08-10:10, 11:19, 12:19-12:29, and later afternoon and evening visits. Several clips show both parents at the nest while chicks are visible in the cup. Mixed egg-and-chick views continue through the day, including 12:13 and 12:24, so the hatch appears partial rather than complete.

The female continues brooding through the afternoon and evening with short absences that expose the cup contents. The strongest day summary is: hatch is confirmed on this date, chick visibility begins at 06:13 PT, at least one egg remains visible alongside chicks in multiple clips, and provisioning behavior continues around the brooding female.

Pipeline: No infrastructure changes this day.
