May 21 Grandvue

Took the sunday school group of kids to Grandvue and walked part of the trail. Tree swallow in nest box would not flush. In fact I moved feathers and pretty much touch the bird. She remained on eggs so any day we should see young. Also flushed the flicker from her hole and the sparrow nest still has no eggs. It may have been abandoned as a mower came within 6 inches of the nest.
I counted 32 cedar waxwings in one small berry tree. A yellow throat, indigo bunting, baltimore oriole, red eyed and yellow throated verios, and blue birds were good birds on this day. We heard a turkey and many wood thrush.
