I came to a premature conclusion. Returned to the shop after making that post.
As I waked back out there in light rain, I saw 2 Martins overhead. Looked in
gourd again and saw a head peeping out.

As of yesterday afternoon, 2 young Martins continued to peep out of a gourd
and adults frequently fed them. This morning I heard very little chattering.
I could still see one head peeping out but no adults seemed to be around.
Although my main focus was on my carving in progress, I would step outside
whenever I noticed a change in the chattering. At about 9:00 A.M. I heard
chattering that sounded as if it was coming from beyond the gourds, so I
stepped outside. One individual was circling overhead and I saw no head
peeping out of the box. Did the adults decide that junior was big enough to
fly and simply force its decision to fly by not returning? Hard to get
definitive answers to questions posed to Martins.
