Eggs in North Texas - Plano

[Guest]

I just completed my second nest check (first one about 3 or 4 days ago) and found eggs. I have three adult pair building nests for close to two weeks, with all three pair building in multiple cavities. One pair occupies one side of the S&K house and building two nests. They have obviously settled on one nest between them and she has laid three eggs. Another pair occupies the other side and is building two nests. They were the first pair but no eggs yet. The third pair rotates between the three gourds, but is building nests in only two gourds and has not laid yet. Noticed two of the pairs really seem to like the leaves this year, as the nest trays are full of them. The nests in the gourds are more varied in materials, all added to my pine straw. I noticed in another thread that multiple nest building is not that uncommon. This is only my second year, so just staring to build my colony.
