The bird had a mouth full of worms and I could see it deep in the blackberry distributing the food to its young. How many young and exactly the shape of the nest was too difficult to see, and I didn't want to disturb them more than I already had. Not far from there two CASSIN'S VIREOS were in full voice as well as WARBLING VIREO. Nestlings were everywhere it seemed with two families of CHESTNUT-BACKED CHICKADEES, a family of OAK TITMICE and an active NUTTALL'S WOODPECKER nest. On my way back toward University Avenue there were BEWICK'S WRENS at almost every corner and I heard a singing PURPLE FINCH somewhere in the distance. A small flock of CEDAR WAXWINGS moved through the neighborhood and 5 VIOLET-GREEN SWALLOWS foraged over the creek. Not bad for four blocks from downtown.
