May 19, 2012 Grand Vue

I noticed I have neglected to post for quite sometime so let me get caught up. On May 19 I enjoyed a long hike. At one point I called turkeys from two different location. Unknowingly I was also calling in a coyote. I was positioned in such a way that he had to walk up and around a ravine so he was not able to identify me before I saw him. His 5 seconds not but 40 or 50 feet from me proved to be my best view of a healthy adult coyote... fantastic. The birding was good. I believe I have one set of bluebirds on their second brood on this day in May which I think is pretty early. I also located one of the geocaching boxes which I did not disturb. Other birds include: Least flycatcher, Brown thrasher,towhee,Many blue birds one in box,Cowbirds, Field sparrow,Song sparrow,Yellow throats,Flicker,Red bellied,Chipping sparrow, Tree sparrow,Many fledglings,Indigo bunting,Turkey,Peewee,Chickadee,Titmouse,Crow  Grackle,Scarlet tanager,Rose Breasted Grossbeak,Nuthatch,Louisiana water thrush pair Acadian flycatcher,Red tail hawk,robin,starling,purple finch,english sparrow,goldfinch downy,hairy, pileated woodpeckers, Black Throated Green Warblers,Common Yellow Throats, Baltimore Orioles, others
