I'm a "nestcamaholic" Is 18 hours a day a bad thing? (I have 2 this year, luckily I have 2 eyes!)

I agree.

Doe,
Remember to keep track of the number of babies that are already in the nest.

Martin Colony History: Erected 1st house in 1997. Birds were checking it out before Mike got down from the ladder. Six cavities had a little colony 1st year. Grown to 88 cavities all gourds with near 100% occupancy. Most important factor for success is rain = bugs.

Hi Doe.

How is the little one? Did you put him in a foster nest? Did he survive the night?

Let us know...
Sincerely,
Laverne
