Thanks, Scott !---It's on the border of a Priority Block, so I have them in my notes to record for last year. However, I never did get back in to see a pair or find the nest cavity, which I had seen prior to the BBA when they nested right off the main backwater path. Time to put on the waders, I guess, but since they've returned it must indicate they were successful again last year. Linda Whyte
