Hi all:
=20
I've been lax recently with my postings. My friend David Walmark had a se=
mi-palmated plover today at Kingsburg. Last week I checked on the eagle ne=
st at Dayspring and the young one is half the size of the adult. It still =
had fuzzy white on the head=2C but was up on the edge flexing its wings. I=
had a report of a brown thrasher at Springfield at the residence of Don Ba=
rnes. I've also had a call about an eastern bluebird that was at Barrs Cor=
ner=2C for a day=2C but it does not appear to have stuck around. Tonight I=
had a call from a lady about two ill looking hummingbirds=2C which have si=
nce expired. The one died in her barn and the other was seen to have the t=
ongue hanging out with what looked like a swollen throat. It also died. I=
've advised the caller to contact DNR and to make sure they get the bodies =
to send away to determine the cause of death. =20
=20
I watched the other night a battle royal. In Lunenburg there had been seve=
n European starling nests within close proximity. All were at the same age=
level except for one nest. The only one that has young yet was being guar=
ded by one of the adults. An infiltrator tried to enter the hole where the =
young were and watching wrestling would have not been any better then the s=
how that I saw. I thought the two were going to kill one another. In the =
end the adult with the young pinned the other underneath it and held it dow=
n and after an escape was chased off. Later both adults were chasing anoth=
er intruder.=20
=20
Oh yeah=2C the saga of the white-breasted nuthatches at Clearland continued=
. I last left you with three of the young being decapitated by a chipmunk =
and then an additional two. The interloper was taken care of=2C but the ad=
ults appeared to or were acting as if they were going to re-nest. It turns=
out that one chick was left and it fledged the nest. So out of six nestli=
ngs one did survive. =20
=20
Sincerely=2C
