I'm reasonably sure that a pair of Blue Grosbeaks have a nest in a ragweed
patch beside some of my hay rolls and have young that have hatched in the last
couple of days. The reason I'm so sure is because I spent some time loitering
in the area Sunday morning trying to discover the identity of a sparrow I had
recently flushed from the meadow near the hay rolls with the tractor. The
sparrow turned out to be a Song Sparrow with a nest between 2 hay rolls, but no
Grosbeaks were seen that day, although a male was singing from a tree some
distance off. Today both parents perched close by and the female held a bug in
her beak waiting for me to leave. She must have been still sitting on her eggs
the other day or I would have seen her then. The Dickcissels exhibit similar
behavior along a certain strip of the pathway through the back meadow.
