Feb 5 2012 Grandview hike

Nest box report: I observed all boxes noting one had been vandalized. I took the pieces home to be repaired. Also deer mice now have a tight nest in box number 4.

I enjoyed a two hour hike at grandvue in 48 degree temperatures. Now that's winter! The bird of the day was the golden crowned kinglet. The location was the exact sme spot I noted seeing them last winter. I heard them before I saw them.
Other birds: pileated, red bellied, hairy, Downey, bluejay, crow, bluebirds, Carolina wren, titmouse, cardinal, Song sparrow, And other commons. I hiked all the way to the bottom and noted good habitat for waterthrush to be checked in may or June.
