A couple of updates:

Both the nest box in the back yard and the one in the front have 5 eggs. One clutch should hatch on June 25; the other June 29.

Papa has successfully chased away the first nesters, apparently. I haven't seen them in several days.

All four of the fledglings from the second nesting are coming on their own to the deck for meal worms. Several are already starting to feed themselves. But when one of the adults is nearby, they still beg; sometimes with enthusiasm.
