And Then There Were Three......

Three eggs and counting.....I'm almost certain there will be one-two more. Today Lloyd was fending off some Brown-headed Cowbirds who were at my neighbor's feeder and too close to the nestbox for comfort. He was kicking birdie tail and taking names! Oh and last night, Sylvia was in the nestbox sitting on her eggs. I was watching her until about 10:30 when I went to bed, so it looks like my initial assumption that she didn't nest-sit at night was wrong. It was very sweet to see her in there trying to chill. She would doze off and her little head would kind of fall forward. Then every now and then she would jerk awake and stare at the camera or at the hole. I'll be looking for egg #4 tomorrow.....
