Congrats on your first fledgling!
It's been really neat following your reports this season.

Adam,

I am sooo jealous, but at the same time I am excited for you. Our house designs are different, but it struck me how our color scheme is the same. Can't imagine what else I can do to increase my chances. Notice the square mirrors, dummy round holes made with black duck tape, decoys, speaker that I play dawnsong and gourds.

You seem to be doing everything right... I am hopeful for you next year and can't wait to read a post similar to mine from you.

My place is pretty quiet this evening. I am guessing days will be like this for a while as the parents take the young on longer and longer flights. Hope they come back for the night so I can at least see then at sunrise for a little bit longer.
