Most of the songbirds have young in their nests, but some have more than one brood.  A
few got an early start this year, so some could have up to three broods in one season.
The elusive little Bell's Vireo is in higher populations this year, so there will be many of
them in the deciduous trees on the east side of the lake.  They are known for their call,
"Cheedle-cheedle-chew, Cheedle-cheedle-chee," which is in a rapid pitch.  If you hear
that, you know who told you.  http://macaulaylibrary.org/audio/189254
