My wife and I did a nest check this morning and looks like all 5 eggs hatched out . I think they hatched on the 22nd because I saw eggshells under the rack and decided to wait until today to check. :grin Here is a couple of pics
praying for all of you

Chris,
Those are great pictures. The NC Purple Martin Society is meeting in western NC in Catawba County on August 2. It's a great opportunity to meet local hosts and share experiences!
Glad your martin season is going great!
Keep us posted!
