Howdy "neighbor"!

Great numbers! I'll post mine tomorrow. I have 10 active nests and 10 chicks so far.

I was out a Turtle River State Park on Sunday The park has an ASY male in the same unit as last year. I don’t know if they have more. We drove by your place and your colony is really nice this year.

I have a possible renesting pair that had 2 eggs June 19th, 1 egg on June 20th, and no eggs June 23rd. Today they had 3 eggs all buried in the nest… Did I miss count? I rearranged things a bit and will recheck tomorrow. It is a SY female nest, so she may not know how to keep a nest.
