No mice allowed in this nest box!
Newman and Elaine are alternating incubation times for the 3 eggs here.

Shep, This means that Elaine has laid 5 eggs this year!  The first one in the nest at LaX, that she abandoned to another female and the male there.

Fingers and toes crossed for a successful hatch and fledge here.

True. While 5 eggs is unusual, it happens.

Apollo notes, bcaw
It seems like Elaine is taking after her Mom in South Bend.
Her Mom has laid 5 eggs each year since 2022 when she arrived.
Now, she hasn't hatched them all, but what an effortl
Grandma Moxie has never laid more than 4 but she is still laying those eggs at 14!

Newman brought a warbler to Elaine about 8:30 this morning. She grabbed it and flew away; he took over incubation.  Changeover from Newman to Elaine about 9:15.
