KCGC is the King Carter Golf Course, located south of Kilmarnock just off
Irvington Road.  HQ is Hills Quarter, the community associated with the
golf course.  NNAS is the Northern Neck Audubon Society.

No third brood starts, yet, but production is rolling along.  One curious
box with 1 egg last week and still 1 egg this week.  Other boxes with 1 egg
last week had more added.  Will a female incubate when there is just one
egg?  We will be watching.  Two more boxes fledged this week, so we have
121 fledges in the bank.  And there are 86 eggs and young in the pipeline.
 Keep in mind that not every egg will hatch, not every young will fledge,
but we are sooo close to 200 for the season.  Stay tuned.

Here is the summary:
Eggs: 47 in 13 boxes.
Young: 39 in 10 boxes.
Fledged: 8 from 2 boxes.
Other: A new tree swallow egg in the gourds.
Chickadees fledged for the season: 10.
Tree swallows fledged: 4.
Bluebirds fledged: 121, with 86 in the pipeline.
