| April 17 | 12137 | mvlr12 | 0 | N | N | ||
| Note: | This nest appears to be completely gone, I know where it was last year and have gotten as close to the area as possible to see if it's still there. It was in a dead tree last year so I'm thinking it was blown over during the fall/winter. | ||||||

| April 24 | 12136 | mvlr12 | 2 | Y | N | incubation | |
