It appears the Sylvia is egged out and stopping at five eggs for this first clutch. They seem to be doing well, although Lloyd is spending a lot of his time chasing off Brown-Headed Cowbirds. I am taking grub or mealworm contributions. If anyone knows where I could order some live ones, let me know. I only came across a few very small grubs in my garden. My neighbor donated some huge ones and they scarfed those right up.
On a side note, it appears that some Tree Swallows might be moving into my recycled plastic house that I relocated across the street! Finally those houses will be used! They have a snazzy little latch that flips back to allow the side of the box to flip up and then there is a lexan wall behind it for nest monitoring. the box came from bestnest.com and it is great and will last forever!
