My neighbor owns the unmanaged hayfield around us. The field usually gets
cut for hay just once in late summer. The unmowed field is currently
supporting a blue grosbeak nest near the edge of our yard. The pair has
been carrying food for over a week now. Any time I am near that part of the
yard, the pair "chinks" their displeasure at me. They usually have a
beak-full of bug when sounding off. They prefer to perch on the tall
ironweed plants before descending to the nest. Their presence has been a
real treat this spring and summer. In other backyard bird news, the
mockingbirds are building yet another nest. At least two nests have fledged
young already.
