The Prothonotary Warblers at the Hoover Nature Preserve have been fledging
at a rate equal to buttered popcorn at a Cineplex. Even with the lack of rain
in Central Ohio and the dropping water level at Hoover Reservoir they appear
to be having another very successful year. Thursday Jim Fry and I watched the
adults feeding the hatchlings at a nest along the Big Walnut Creek and Friday
they were fledged and begging for food. There are still many nests that have
yet to fledge, but as a whole they seem to be fledging earlier than normal.
They have plenty of company as I’ve been encountering recent fledglings
everywhere in my blocks for the Ohio Breeding Bird Atlas. Among the species
confirmed this week as breeding via fledglings were:
Green Heron
Wood Duck
Wild Turkey
Killdeer
Great Horn Owl
Ruby-throated Hummingbird
Belted Kingfisher
Red-bellied Woodpecker
