User's notes

Private property. No public access without permission. The birds have been around all spring/summer in various numbers, spending much of their time in our front garden near the pond and bird baths. We finally found the nests while trimming some bushes. Birds are fine, nests are safe and we are recovering from the shock of multiple birds zooming out of the bush.
