Add this to recent observations of Song Sparrow nesting in pines for their second attempt. Just outside the front of my house and family room window Song Sparrows have nested this Spring. The first was found by Cowbirds in a Forsythia. But the second nesting was so well-hidden in the dense foliage of a six-foot Dwarf Alberta Spruce that it was not until the cute little guys were ready to fledge and begging incessantly with their distinct "Zeeing" call that I finally pinned them down. http://outdoors.webshots.com/photo/2367028330104716876FANVci The second is of a Black-backed Woodpecker nesting in Vilas Co. Look closely just above the adult males foot in the cavity hole. http://outdoors.webshots.com/photo/2422747270104716876Ebiaaz http://outdoors.webshots.com/photo/2148818440104716876QExsRd Lastly, I've seen this flower a few times up North but can not ID it. Any takers? http://outdoors.webshots.com/album/573319273hMWmqC Best of birding, -- --------------------------------------------- Joe Schaufenbuel 5676 Regent St. Stevens Point Portage County, WI 54481 (715) 345-2788 "The most exciting phrase to hear in science, the one that heralds new discoveries, is not 'Eureka!'
