Good news so far.
I have 10 nest so far (one partial, maybe nest). No eggs yet.
Over the last day or 2, they have been really working on building and I saw at least 2 "greening" their nest.
I doubled nesting capacity by adding another S&K house next to the original this year and have double the nest for it.
I'm hoping for another good year like last year. I had 5 nest, 27 eggs and 19 confirmed fledges.
Good luck everyone....
A quick nest check 5/15/14

Danno,
That is awesome. Yes, I posted this weekend that my birds came back, but non of them were bringing in nesting material yet. Yesterday morning they are working so hard and fast that I worried my season will be all over at once.
Did you get a lot of SY birds? I am assuming those are the ones with eggs or late nest builders.
