For the longest time number #18 had nothing in it. A nest was eventually built but stayed empty for
a few weeks and I thought it had been abandoned. I kept checking just incase and eventually eggs were laid. The
parents are very protective of this box and fly around and attempt to scare me off by swooping down close to my head.
As you can tell by the pictures it doesnt scare me off, and is actually quite entertaining but you have to admire them for
their determination. This is the latest of the nests and the eggs should hatch in 2-3 weeks with the last egg being
laid April 17th.
