HI . . .
In keeping with the recent thread about early breeding, I thought I'd
mention that this morning at Hilton Pond Center for Piedmont Natural
History near York SC I re-trapped a banded Carolina Wren with a
highly edematous incubation/brood patch.
I've got six jillion nestboxes on the property, but she's not in any
of them. I suspect she's on eggs close by, but chicks are always a
possibility the way global warming is going.
Happy Birding,
BILL
