Nest check reveals first young of the year

Filed under: 2009 Martins — jay @ 02:27:12 pm

During a nest check on April 7th, two gourds were found to have young - probably only 1-3 days old. In the last few days we have also spotted eggs in the gourd-cam (Gourd I) - 4 were counted during the nest check.

Results:
Gourd B - 6 eggs
Gourd G - 4 young, presumed 2 remaining eggs
Gourd H - 3 young, 3 eggs
Gourd I - 4 eggs
GOurd K - 6 eggs

Hopefully the overnight near-record low temperature of 41F did not present a problem to the martins.
