Blue Mash Nature Trail, Zion Road, Montgomery County, 17 Mar 05,
0700-0900 

Thanks to the collaboration between Rob Gibbs, MCPPC, and the Boy Scouts, 12
new bluebird nestboxes were installed this past Sunday along the Zion Rd.
portion of the BMNT.  I'm looking forward to monitoring the boxes during the
upcoming breeding season.

Waterfowl on the ponds included:
Canada Goose
Green-winged Teal
Mallard
Ring-necked Duck
Bufflehead

Signs of Spring singing birds on this cool, damp and overcast morning
included:
E. Bluebird!
E. Towhee
Song Sparrow
N. Cardinal
Red-winged Blackbird

Other birds of note:
unidentified owl (most likely a Barred Owl flying through the woods)
E. Phoebe (1st for the year)
Hermit Thrush
Yellow-rumped Warbler
Field, Fox & Swamp Sparrow
