I just watched the video. I noticed you've got a nest material thief. A female steals some material from a cavity on the left side of the house and brings it to a cavity on the side of the house facing the camera. lol She struggles a bit to get into the cavity with her prize but ultimately succeeds :grin:

Thanks for the comments Russell good to know it can be viewed! And yes we have been watching that same female steal nest material!!!! Too funny!!! One thing I noticed this yr is the serious nest building going on! They are using a lot of mud and building the nests up several inches!!!! My observation is that this is probably mature adults doing this!!!

I'm unable to watch it. :-(

I load all my videos to YouTube and they seem to work better there. Maybe you could setup an account there? It too is free.

Martin Colony History: Put up the colony in 2015 and had a mean and nasty fight with the sparrows, yet one pair stayed and five fledged.

Video worked for me :grin: They sure are busy little things

I rebooted my machine and noticed they don't like Ad-blocker. I turned it off for that site, and now the video works. Thought others may want to know that tip.
