Yesterday yielded a day with heaps of bird news.  My bluebirds have just 
hatched ...too tiny to count but there were four eggs so am hoping there 
are four nestlings.  Also,  I have been keeping tabs on the pair of 
Baltimore Orioles that have returned again this year.  Sure enough, 
their new nest is finished and ready to be occupied.  Once again they 
have built in the old Elm down by our lower barns.  A pair of Kingbirds 
seem to be getting ready to nest in an apple tree in an old pasture.  In 
addition to having a Chestnut sided warbler singing to me while I did 
barn chores yesterday I also had a Blue winged warbler join the chorus.
