Farther down in lower section looked in vain for a nest. Did not see a hear any birds here tho, today.

Field Center Section At 7:10 AM formula nest (will call D) near extreme lower end of this section in Azalea type plant. The nest is very high about 7 ft. My arm stretched up reaches just to top, There are three eggs. The insulation must be well under way. An adult bird chipped very frequently in the row of bushes, a sharp chip, but was not real loud. Same Upper Sec., Nest A No change Dana, along at SE corner Men's Gym In large double Arborvitae tree I am almost sure there is a nest. Bird was singing from top of it.
