It was truly disgusting, Dennis had to use a small "ladies" (as the boys call it) crowbar to help remove it from the box - and I was standing below holding the ladder!!!  :P x10

Perhaps they think it's to clean to have a family in...told you we should have left some body parts  :-\

What body parts?   :o  Do you mean from last fall or from the last time you where there?

Still no eggs, birdies in and out and both working on the scrape.  Think they like having pristine gravel in their new condo ...

I checked 2011 past observations and on April 28th there were three eggs laid, so they are right on schedule.   :) 

You are quite right RCF, they are.  Its just us who are "off" schedule, the early dry weather has thrown all us humans off our spring schedule I'm afraid ... I know I have to keep checking calendars ...

Hurricane was in the nestbox just hanging out so I thought I would hold off posting until she was "finished".  Unfortunately, she finished standing around and left the nestbox without depositing an egg, so the wait continues I'm afraid.

No eggs I'm afraid but Hurricane was in the box doing some scraping and standing around for quite awhile this afternoon.

Sorry, box is still empty of eggs and no Hurricane camping out either.  Haven't seen her here since this morning.  Yesterday she was here for most of the afternoon, so we'll see if she turns up shortly and hangs around.
