["Ed Talbott" <etalbott@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Bristol Birders,
While working in the yard this morning I noted three different species of
swallow (Barn, Tree, N. Rough-wing) swooping through the yard and over the
river.  The Tree Swallows are investigating the Bluebird boxes but no nest
yet.  I was sure we were going to have our first nesting Bluebirds this year
but sadly the female Bluebird broke her wing yesterday (it was a compound
fracture) and died last night.  The male has been singing all morning and
hopefully will attract another mate.  I also heard a Blue-headed Vireo
singing on the mountain behind the house.
