April 25, 2011 Nauvoo

Walked Nauvoo today and saw some good birds. First I observed one bluebird box with 5 eggs. Another next was in a tree cavity. Other boxes that usually hold house wrens currently are not occupied.
The wak in the woods along the stream that passes behind the house yeilded good views of the following:
Hooded Warbler, Northern Water Thrushes, Yellow Throated Vereo, and Yellow Rumped Warblers were all seen within 50 yards of eachother. In addition I saw scarlet tanagers, a wood thrush, and many more common birds. In a 2 hour span I probably saw 25-30 species. Weather was warm with partly cloudy skies. It was a great walk.
