Happy to report that the bluebirds have fledged; we observed parents 
feeding at least three young among the sycamores on the W side of the 
park and on the wires above Park St this morning. There may have been 
more than one pair this spring, as it seemed like there were more than 
just two adults in the vicinity.

Also observed a female Nuttall's Woodpecker foraging in the same sycamores.
