This morning at Dayspring both adults were away from the nest in a nearby t=
ree. Tonight one adult was sitting high up on the one side of the nest=2C =
so this indicates that there is definitely young in the nest. At least thi=
s is the actions that I've observed in past years that indicate that young =
are present.

At work today one of my co-workers pointed out a dark-eyed junco feeding yo=
ung just outside of the office window. There are three well developed youn=
g which should fledge within three or four days on the basis of their size.
=20
I found two more European starling nests today inside of light poles at abo=
ut three feet above the ground. At one of those nests someone had put elec=
trical tape over the hole to keep the adult from feeding the young. I rect=
ified that.
=20
Out of the five nests I located the other day one site was taken away from =
House sparrows. The pair were forlornly nearby and looked lost and out of =
place. On the perch where they were another starling was actively feeding =
a nest with young.
