I took a walk around the apartment complex this morning to see what I 
could see.  The Canada Geese only have two goslings left.  The mallards' 
brrods are dwindling too.  In addition to the regulars I saw 2 great blue 
herons and a spotted sandpiper.  A neighbor told me that during the week 
he saw an egret and a green heron here.  I wish they had been around today.

Afterwards I walked over to Lazelle Woods.  The Eastern Phoebe is spending 
more time away from her nest these days.  I saw her out hawking when I got 
there.  She returned to her nest before I left though.  Her mate came with 
her.
The Cooper's hawk nest is still visible through the leaves but just 
barely.  I could just make out the tail feathers sticking over the side of 
the nest.  
I saw both members of the red-tailed hawk couple today.  They were both 
carrying food and they both flew off in the direction of the nest which is 
completely obscured by leaves.  I wonder if this means they have nestlings 
now.
At Lazelle Woods I also saw yellow-rumped warbler, tree swallow, barn 
swallow, northern rough-winged swallow, red-bellid woodpecker (at the 
nest), etc.
