[Douglbirds] Bird sightings,bunny tail

[KathyDressel at aol.com]

On the Winkler Ranch this past Friday, I saw Bobolinks, Northern 
Mockingbirds, Lazuli Buntings and Lark Buntings.

When I was monitoring a nest box on our property in Deerfield (Franktown) 
with Violet-green Swallows  in it, I noticed something very soft in the bottom of 
the nest cup, along with feathers.  I removed it, since I did not know if it 
was a dead bird or not.  It was a Cottontail bunny tail!  Apparently, a fox or 
coyote may have left it for use by somebody else, and the Violet-green 
swallows grabbed it for their nest!  I'll be checking for eggs this coming week.  It 
should be nice and soft and warm!
