Birders,

Turning onto the wildlife drive there was a recently fledged bluebird siting in 
the middle of the road acting like it was blending in.  I walked up to it and 
it still didn't move.  Picked it up thinking the middle of the road was not a 
good place for a flightless fledging bluebird.  The parents appeared and seemed 
nervous.  I decided to put him/her back in the box he came out of.  One more 
day in the box would probablly be just the thing needed, and if not well it got 
out once... 

I flushed an AMERICAN WOODCOCK checking a prothonotary warbler box near 
deephole point around 830. 

I missed seeing the king rails but heard them. 

2 of the 8 warbler boxes were active with 4 eggs in each

Here a list of other birds I remember seeing/hearing from this morning
  

Canada Geese
Ospreys
Bald Eagles
Great' Herons
Redwinged blackbirds

Yellowbilled cuckcoo
Roughwinged swallow
