I spent most of the weekend doing an extensive nest check on all of the compartments in my colony. I have 114 gourds and 40 compartments of Coats houses. I have 67 nest with eggs, 3 nest with just hatched babies. It looks like about 30 nest are ready for eggs.

So far I have 316 eggs and baby martins combined. Some nest only had 1 or 2 eggs, and 9 of them had 6 eggs. It still looks like they are still about 2 weeks late overall.
