I stopped by Emily Traphagan Preserve this morning.  The barred owls have 
fledged.  I saw two of them.  There may have been more.  I also saw a red-
bellied woodpecker nestling sticking its head out of a tree cavity waiting 
for its parents to come back with food.

At Kiwanis cedar waxwings were abundant.  One pair of them was building a 
nest.  A female American redstart was taking a bath in one of the springs 
not more than five feet from where I was standing on the boardwalk.  
Farther down the trail, near where it turns to go up to the parking lot, a 
daddy downy woodpecker put food into the mouth of one of his screaming 
fledglings.  The male prothonotary warblers are still singing but I still 
haven't seen a female there yet.

At Lazelle Woods, the red-tailed hawk chicks are getting big.  Any day now 
they should fledge.
