Thanks Jan and really appreciate you looking! It's almost time to start looking for the Prothonotary Warbler and had installed a nest box near the water last year complete with a large baffle and of course it was not selected. I had been checking it from time to time but never a trace of a nest. Well, I was showing it to a neighbor yesterday, as he was thinking about installing one, and when I opened it there was a completely finished nest in it and couldn't be the Prothonotary as it's too early. Have no idea what bird it could be except maybe the wren, as I had installed a small plate over the entrance hole to limit it to a bird of the warblers size. Are you ready for all the little warblers that will be stopping by your area soon?... We have had purple martins for about a week, but many times they leave and come back several weeks later! Thanks again and take care!
