Hi all: Last year a pair of mourning doves nested in Garden Lots and raised=
eight young=2C which consisted of four nestings. A pair returned to the s=
ame spot this year above the light fixture outside of the house. Yesterday=
there were two large young in the nest and the adult was not observed to r=
eturn=2C so the house owner thinking the worst gave me a call as to what sh=
e should do for the young. I was unable to phone her back until this morni=
ng or did not get the message until today. In the meantime she had her hus=
band climb the ladder and try to feed the young worms. (Keep in mind that =
I had not phoned them back at this point) The moment that he up the two yo=
ung flew out=2C so they were old enough to fledge. When I phoned today the=
adult had returned to the empty nest. Dorothy Poole and I ran my third o=
wl monitoring route last night which goes from Camperdown to East Port Medw=
ay. Most of the area is now miles of clear-cuts behind the few trees along=
side of the road and it was the worst that I've seen it for owls on this ro=
ute. Before taking the route over from Sylvia Fullerton I had gone with he=
r to assist previously=2C so I'm familiar with the history of the route and=
what used to be there. So overall we had four barred owls of which three =
were visible. The one was at the limit of my hearing range. The second fl=
ew across without a sound and did not start to call until after the play ba=
ck had ended. The last two were very vocal throughout. As per other wildl=
ife. More common loons then I've ever heard on this route=2C on both fresh=
and saltwater. We had one American woodcock and one white-throated sparro=
w was vocal. As per Amphibians=2C there were very vocal spring peepers=2C =
loads of American toads=2C leopard frogs and a green frog. James R. Hirtl=
