This evening the daughters and I monitored the nesting boxes on the Early White Trail. You can imagine the squeals of excitement (the girls were pretty excited too) when the first box we checked had a newly hatched chick and four eggs in it. All in all we had 8 or 9 hatchlings in 5 boxes. I'm also pleased to report nesting activity of some kind in all but 3 boxes. Many thanks to Roger for replacing the missing box. So sorry that I won't be able to make the trip to Elk release sight on Sat. I hope that it is a nice and bird-filled day.
