Tom,
 TW> Uncommon?  [Awwcommon ]  Well, it happened to me too. When these Wild
 TW> AG's showed up, not more than 3 months went by before they laid 5 
infertile
 TW> eggs, 4 more in a month later.   I was beginning to think that being
 TW> unsettled caused the female to lay eggs and the male to not mate ...
O.K. You may be right...maybe not. The Scarlets have two eggs that I 
discovered this morning. So, we'll see. Course I don't know when they were 
laid.
 TW> BTW, enjoyed your article in Beakers! the article was informative and
Thanks. I haven't seen it. How did you get your Beakers so soon, huh? Guess 
the burro gets to your house first.
 TW> your other (smaller?) birds would reuse some of the nests instead of
 TW> nestboxes?
Don't think so. There seem to be birds that nest in nests and then those that 
nest in cavaties. then there are those that nest on the rocks...like some 
Scarlets..and some that nest on the ground, and others........shall I go on. 
It is starting to sound like a song.
