While mowing, playing baseball in the yard, grilling and hanging out we (my
two boys and I) discovered 7 nests on our property in rural Wyandot County
CH 4 Carey. They included Chipping sparrow (no eggs), Eastern bluebird (4
eggs), Tree swallow (4 eggs), American robin (4 eggs), Song sparrow (3 eggs
and a suspected cowbird egg), House wren (with sticks in the box not sure
about eggs) and the find of the day Wild turkey (with 14 eggs!). The Turkey
nest is less than 75 feet from my living room couch, under the thorn bushes
I luckily talked myself out of cutting. My youngest son discovered the
Turkey on the nest and flushed her. My worry is weather she will come back.
We are going to leave it alone and hope we see a bunch of little ones in a
couple of weeks.

We also saw at least a dozen Bobolinks just outside of Adrian between New
Riegel and Carey on the County Line Road (Seneca and Wyandot County). There
are always there this time of the year in those same fields. We got great
looks and it is fairly remote for nice long study of the birds.
