Box 10 on the South side is easily checked from the path, and there have strangely been no wrens bothering this box ever. Perhaps because there were tree swallows next door for weeks.
I tried to take a bit of video, but since food did not come, he no longer would lift his head:
There are three fuzzy heads, if you check carefully. I check the South side 14 boxes by bike, though I have not gone past 10, since 14 likely has no new eggs. One box had wrens. I leave those alone if they have a nest or eggs. Will do a final check on boxes 11-14 in a week.
Other pairs were around, and they too have eggs, so we have now four active boxes.
The pair from Box 13 is giving it one more try, after losing two clutches. With the wren sticks removed, they made a normal grass nest.
Once in a while, I catch something worth while if I have the camera with me. Today a Grasshopper Sparrow:
