This is the first time on with the new site, very nice.
Just getting ready to send in my report. Had a good year for me. Put up 12 more gourds giving me a total of 24. Had 21 gourds used, with 102 eggs. Bad weather during incubation and had 85 hatch and 78 fledge. Lost 3 fledglings out of 4 when the 3 came back and we had a heavy rain for a 1 1/2. These young ones could fly but maybe were too young to leave and once left the parents didn't return. Shame.

Hope everyone had a good year and hope that those not being a landlord will this coming year.
2013-4 gourds 4 pair
2014-12 gourds 7 nesting pair, 32 fledged
2015-24 gourds 21 nesting pair 79 fledged
2016-24 gourds 21 nesting pair 89 fledged
