			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>A Spotted Sandpiper</strong> was seen at the Sailboat Pond. The bird circled the pond once and then proceeded down the path toward <em>Explore the Wild</em>. Spotted Sandpipers prefer a muddy shoreline on which to forage for invertebrates. We don&#8217;t often see shorebirds at the Museum. If they stop in, they usually don&#8217;t stay long.</p>
<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-1330" src="http://blogs.ncmls.org/greg-dodge/files/2008/05/gd_5_15howa_conv.jpg" alt="gd_5_15howa_conv" width="199" height="150" />A young <strong>Red-tailed Hawk</strong>, leisurely soaring over the Wetlands, was met by a <strong>Red-shouldered Hawk</strong> intent on clearing the air of the former. An <strong>American Crow</strong> flew up to roust the Red-shouldered Hawk. Finally, a <strong>Cooper&#8217;s Hawk</strong> entered the fray. All four were last seen chasing each other off to the northeast.<strong> A Hooded Warbler</strong> was singing behind the Lemur House and a <strong>Red-eyed Vireo</strong> and <strong>Eastern Wood Pewee</strong> were heard near the main entrance to <em>Explore the Wild</em>. A dozen or so <strong>Cedar Waxwings</strong> breezed through the area on Saturday the 17th during the final day of Bear Aware Week. In my last journal installment I reported a <strong>Ruby-throated Hummingbird&#8217;s nest</strong> above the boardwalk in <em>Explore the Wild</em>. The hummingbird was last seen on May 18 as it sat on the nest, occasionally flying off to gather nesting material. I&#8217;ve regularly checked the nest since the last sighting but have not seen the bird.</p>
