Decent day at Lawrence Woods SNP.

Birds were in good quantities singing over top of one another with areas of
silence to help collect thoughts. :-)
Them French-Canadian Flycatchers (Acadian) are back and are scattered
through the woods.  Cerulean Warblers are between 3 and 4.  Geese were
absent today with only a couple flybys.
Looks like the Protonotary Warbler is picking nesting sites...looks like
one may be the box in the pond on the left.  It is also looking for natural
cavities on the right as you enter, and across the pond on the left.
Hopefully a female hears his pleas soon.
Bobolinks are in the field singing every once and a while.
Common Yellowthroats are all around the parking lot...and I saw one at the
pond.
Weirdest bird of the day was a Killdeer flyby.
Mosquito population is minimal at the moment with only two flybys.  Look
for increasing traffic as we go into June. :-D

Lists for prairie and boardwalk below.

Happy birding and God bless.
