Purple Martin Nest Watch 24 Eggs With 5 Nests

We did a Purple Martin nest check today and discovered we have 24 eggs in a total of 5 different nests.  Make that 23 eggs in 5 different nests.

Notice how the one egg has a small puncture in it?  I guarantee that was because a House Sparrow raided the nest.  I can’t stand those birds and this is just one of the many reasons why.

I didn’t notice it until I downloaded the pictures tonight, so I’ll remove it from the nest tomorrow.
