Blue Mash Nature Trail, Zion Road Section, Montgomery County, 10 Aug 06,
0730--0930
Kind of quiet along the BMNT with only 29 species observed or heard. Once
again some knucklehead has decided that the parking area is a public domain
for dumping trash and garden debris. Two of the 12 nest boxes still contain
bluebird nests, 1 with 4 young and 1 with 4 white eggs. A couple of
immature Yellow Warblers were being fed by mom. At least 20 or so Chimney
Swifts were hawking insects low over the pond. No migrants noted.
