      <image:caption>This egg was hatching as I did the nest check. Both halves of the shell are still in the nest and the baby is still in one of the halves.  The parents will remove the shell pieces but if one of the halves caps one of the unhatched eggs it can prevent the egg from hatching. If you notice the middle egg, you will see that it is capped with one of the halves from the hatched egg.  I removed this cap before moving on to the next cavity.  </image:caption>

      <image:caption>With the screen bottom nest tray the nest stays dry. If rain blows into the cavity front, it never reaches the nest. I don’t use a canopy above the front entry as I think it reduces visibility for the martins as they exit. making them more prone to attack.</image:caption>
