A MD has found an old hanging plant pot on my back porch & is protected from the rain. BTW I've read that the males incubate during the day, switching with the females who take over the night shift. Between broods, the 2 young huddled by themselves in the nest during one heavy rainstorm last week. The next day more egg-laying.
