As i started up the Upland Trail's west slope I spotted a Field
Sparrow with a couple of caterpillars clasped in its bill (left). I
watched as the sparrow flew down from its perch onto a small Red Cedar
(20" tall) and then disappear downward. i hiked down to this tree and
soon found a nest hidden in the lower branches, almost on the ground. I
didn't stay long so that the nestlings (right) could be fed by their
parents. 6/3/15 (Wolf. Oesterreich)
