After almost a week out of the field (broke my eyeglasses and had a wisdom tooth removed) I managed to get out to monitor my nest box trail. This afternoon Linda joined me and we checked out Old Sunbury Road. The females have paired with the territorial males and nest construction is well under way. Twelve males and seven females were observed today along this section of the nest box trail. Other interesting species observed during the afternoon walk included Indigo Buntings, Baltimore Orioles, Warbling Vireos, Yellow Warblers and Yellow-billed Cuckoos.
