I spent a lot of time looking for nests along the trail
and I found several good ones to climb for when I get ready.
This is an excellent woods for bird study as it is brushy and
well away from roads ( nearly 1/2 mile away.)
As I got back to my bicycle I came into a large patch of
wild black caps. I picked about 4 or 5 cups and carried them home
in my hanky. On my way out to the road I found a Bob White egg
that had been punched and drained.
I also collected the Robin's nest that I found on May 18.
The one the California Jay had robbed.
