Subject: Eastern Bluebird 3rd hatch
Our Eastern Bluebird successfully hatched her 3rd set of eggs this
morning.
The four nestlings appear to be doing well. Through daily observation
at the mealworm feeders
and direct observation via the nest cam there is no doubt all three
hatches were by the same pair.
We know the first four fledglings (from five eggs) survived. Survival
of the second hatch of five
is uncertain as the extreme heat caused some to leave the nestbox
early. We have seen two from that hatch being
fed in nearby trees.

Many, over the years, though no species as exceptional as those. Most
recently, yesterday: arriving at my pet-care gig at a friend's house 2
blocks from home, a pair of Merlins in the conifer in her yard.

Last Friday (Aug. 5) we banded a hatching year Palm Warbler at Carpenter =
Nature Center. It is either an early migrant or from parents that nested =
below their known breeding area.=20
We have no records of observing Palm Warblers at the Nature Center this =
summer. =20

Subject: Shorebird workshop results
Bob Janssen and I just finished our three day shorebird workshop. We had =
a list of 16 shorebird species:
Killdeer
American Avocet (41 in one location)
Greater Yellowlegs
Lesser Yellowlegs
Solitary Sandpiper
Spotted Sandpiper
Semipalmated Sandpiper
Least Sandpiper
Baird's Sandpiper
Pectoral Sandpiper
Upland Sandpiper
Short-billed Dowitcher
Stilt Sandpiper
Common Snipe
Wilson's Phalarope
Red-necked Phalarope
We came across no unexpected species, but we had phenomenal views at 25 =
feet or even less of many of them. It was some of the best shorebirding =
we have experienced in many years of hosting the shorebird workshop. It =
was a great learning opportunity for everyone.
Thanks to tip from Kim Ekert who was in the area with his MN Birding =
Weekend group, we found a Henslow's Sparrow that came within 75 feet and =
called from the top of a cattail for at least 15 minutes while everyone =
got to admire him.
We have a couple of spaces left at the Sparrow Workshop (October 7 - 9). =
Contact me if you are interested in attending this 3 day sparrow =
workshop. Complete details are on the web site at:=20
