I did my first nest check today, found 55 good PM nests at my colony and to my surprise 5 eggs in three of the nests. There is allots of ASY males around and some possible SY males but I still have to confirm before I report it. That is my first nest check report.

Congrats Jerry! A nice start to this years season with many more SY birds on their way. I will have to keep my eye out for any of your banded birds as soon as I start seeing SY birds at my place. It would be quite an honor to have one of them nest here this season.
