[Mnbird] Bluebird timing

[Lowell Rideout]

Out at Carver Park Reserve recently, I had a couple of immature Blues land
on my car as I pulled up, eventually pooping nicely all over both front
doors--while they watched themselves in the rearview mirrors?  It certainly
seems as if a second nesting could be well under way in our area.
