7.30 am  Male looks like a different male?
He seems very nervous.

Yep, they are used to humans.
I was a little surprised she came back so fast.
She stays at the box all night.

The nestbox looks awful !
This fall I'd like to see it replaced.
I'd like SOUND too!  Cant have everythng.   ;D

Around 9:30 she was spending time on the roof and he came into the nest box for a short time and left.......

April 18
I am still wondering if there are 2 males.
If so, will one give up and go away and quit pestering the pair?

She is remaining at the box all night
She is mating
Egg soon?????

Fantastic!  I was working outside.  Looks like the final push might have been 1205.  But hey, noon is close enough!  (Can't see it REAL well, but it's down & out.)


See it better at 1206.
