Your links are working. I’m sure you know that already.
The ads are quite offensive but I know you can’t help that.
I didn’t read it in detail since we’re out of town but you put quite a bit of work into all that! Impressive.
I know you caught a house sparrow but if you have eggs under your box and the bird escaped through that space at the top of those cheap cedar boxes it could have been a House Wren that did it. I have one of those boxes and house sparrows can’t squeeze through but I had a house wren I was trying to catch and forgot about that space at the top and of course he was able to escape easily. Your space at the top obviously could be larger.

I get it on taking on too much!
I had to take down 5 of my boxes on a walking trail because it was getting overgrown and house wrens were taking over. The week after we took them down the county mowed it completely down. So I could have left them up. But it was a longer walk to these boxes so I’m not too disappointed. I put up 3 of them up at my house and TRES are investigating. So now I’ have about 11 on my property and only 8 on the walking trail.
The Jeep plant here contacted me last summer though and wanted to put up boxes. They had a Boy Scout make them and then we’ll help put them up. They wanted me to monitor them. I don’t mind doing it a few times a summer but I’m not doing it weekly. Just a couple times a month would be too much I think.Tammy
Congrats. I’m in NW Ohio and I have two nests going on within sight of each other. One with eggs and one with hatchlings.

What David said.
I don’t know the scientific answer but I do know from experience that they don’t incubate as much as I think they should. Mine are always off the nest! They don’t need to incubate as much as we think. My husband said to me yesterday that he wondered if the eggs froze because she isn’t incubating…and today they hatched.
Mine always hatch in 12 days…don’t know why. So it could be even April 8th that yours should hatch.
The big problem comes when she hasn’t started incubating because she hasn’t finished laying. That’s when I worry about the cold affecting the eggs. Or when she has newly hatched babies that can’t regulate their own body temperature yet.Tammy
I’m Tammy Seaman. How about if you look for me on FB. My background photo is of Pictured Rocks in Michigan from a kayak. My profile is me standing on some rocks. I’m wearing all black.

It’s 2:09 Eastern Time. Are you on right now? If so I’ll just give it to you here and then delete it when you’ve said you’ve copied it.
I have no idea how to turn messages on and why some people don’t have it. I went through this with someone else and even Cher couldn’t help him. It’s not very user friendly. You aren’t on FB are you? You could reach me through Messenger.Tammy
On your PC, Go to the top of this thread. Click on “Your Cafe Mailbox” at the top right. Mine says “0 Messages”. Click on that and it will give you the option to create a New Message. Try typing “tamsea” in the address bar. When I try to type your name “David in Stafford, VA” nothing similar pops up but hopefully my name will pop up for you. Message me and I will give you my number. Not that I can always help but I may have thoughts.
If you are on your phone the “Your Cafe Mailbox is at the bottom under the area where you type in a reply. Just keep going down until you find it. Right after the little emotions/stickers.Tammy
I do NOT know how to find people to message them. 3 David’s pop up when I try to message you. You wouldn’t happen to be David Rickman would you? The other two are just “David” so I don’t know how to differentiate. It doesn’t accept David in Stafford, VA. I don’t get it.
I’ll show you where messages are and you can try to message me. I think you would use tamsea.Tammy
Sorry that I didn’t see this until late. I’ll give you my phone number on messages here so you can just text me.
If it’s a healthy hatchling it somehow got scooted to the edge or maybe a HOSP or House Wren moved it. Who knows really.Tammy
Sorry.
Move it back. They probably are moving it out because it isn’t healthy so it will probably happen again. But I always put them back in. You can just use your fingers to move it.Tammy
Yay. I have some of that going on here too.
