May 18, 2010 Grandvue

Saw three nests: Tree swallows have 5 eggs in box #2, Flicker flushed twice from hole over hill from box #3 - hole has "roof" of fungus above, sparrow flushed from nest in clearing by box #5 (4 eggs with tan specks)- I will return to site to ID the species.
Started with a female cowbird, Baltimore Orioles, I think I heard an Orchard Oriole, watched a female Rose Breasted Grossbeak for several minutes, 10+ Cedar Waxwings, red eyed verios -several had fledged young to feed, Indigo Buntings, heard many wood thrush, Flickers, Red Bellied Woodpeckers, Downy, Towhees, song, chipping, field sparrows.
