    Yesterday at Mitchell Canyon a docent pointed out a Western Bluebird nest near the parking lot.  The birds seemed completely unperturbed by humans (at a respectable distance) so I think it safe to give its location.
    
    To the left of the trail leading out of the parking lot is a large oak tree.  The nest is in a downward pointing bare limb near the sign that posts today's fire danger.
    
    If you sit at the nearby picnic table to observe them, I think they will be OK.
