This afternoon Al LaSala and I checked activity along my nest box trail 
section in Area N of the Hoover Nature Preserve. The Prothonotary Warblers are
 back in numbers as I counted 22 males singing their lungs out as the
females  have now returned to the preserve. Scarlet Tanagers were present in
unusually  good numbers and we located Brown Creepers in the area they nested
last  year. Now with patience I'll try to locate the nest site. For an
afternoon walk  [ushered at church in the morning] activity was steady and there
was a nice  variety of birds.

Double-crested Cormorant
Wood  Duck
Osprey
Great Horned Owl
Red-headed Woodpecker
