Still looking for a nest here! Other nest
belongs to a new (budded) group I'm calling
Seto Springs.

Possibly in the high hole from 1997...?

Note: this hole definitely had starlings in it up
to ~15 May; it would be neat if they used it
anyway.

eggs! Finally! Measured ① 2:① 26.3×20.4
② 24.6 ×19.4.

1000. Well! They weren't done! There are
now 7 youngs (1-2 do) kids + no unhatched
eggs! Bond ~11 July.
