[birders] Trumpeter Cygnets, Scio Church X Parker Rds, Washtenaw Co. 5/25

Rolling slowly past the Trumpeter Swan nest in the southwest corner of the
intersection of Scio Church and Parker Roads, I just counted at least
three adorable fuzzy cygnets. The young were 'beating the heat' by
sheltering in the shadows cast by their parents. Considering the tragic
history of this location, I

Birders,

I biked around Pte. Mouillee for a little over three hours this morning and
although I met with the usual head wind in both directions :-), there were
lots of shorebirds around. The wind kept the songbirds fairly quiet and
there were very few ducks in evidence other than lots of Mallards. Swirling

Your are correct that you should stop checking and opening the box at 12 days. It is very important to monitor so you know when the eggs hatched and can be sure of the number of days.
