Yes, but their reproductive drive must be so strong. To think they will watch and defend their nestbox every day, even throughout the winter, and fight if they must to keep it available to them for next year. Then for the female to endure those 13 days and nights in the box, especially during this intense heat, to incubate her eggs, all the time risking her life and trusting Papa to be outside ready to defend her from a HOSP attack.

But today they are busy feeding the fledglings from her last clutch. I tried to get you a few different views this morning.
