I am still not seeing the increase in active nests I was anticipating. There are numerous nest bowls without added material except green leaves VHCC check was same. Any big nests built with added material are in the t-14 and gourds.  Did not check Kennedy   I wonder if the ChirpyNest boxes are reducing material needed or is something about the cause simple nests to be built.  Are they too bright inside?    

I have ordered and should receive tomorrow a maximum minimum thermometer which I will put in to ChirpyNest box and into a gourd to get a reading of temperature differences between the two units  

i love watching Martin's soar against a blue sky and cumulus clouds.
