Kevin Hall and Adam Cirone joined me today at the Hoover  Nature Preserve
to monitor Prothonotary Warblers and also to see what else was  around. Both
these fine young men have helped me with the nest box trail  maintenance in
the past, for which I am very grateful to them. We covered Oxbow  Road,
parts of Area N and Area L. The migrants were mostly AWOL, hopefully a
temporary situation as there should still be more birds moving  through. We  only
located three species of warbler during the day, Prothonotary (34),
Black-and-white (1), and American Redstart (1). We heard several resident  Northern
Parula but never got a decent sight-line on one. Resident nesting  species
seen included Great Blue Heron, Green Heron, Wood Duck, Osprey,  Ruby-throated
Hummingbird, Pileated Woodpecker, Eastern Wood-Pewee, Acadian  Flycatcher,
Eastern Phoebe [with very recently fledged young], Warbling and  Red-eyed
Vireo, Cliff Swallow, Brown Thrasher, and Baltimore Orioles. Although  total
activity was slower than expected, the Prothonotary Warblers are doing  well
and seemed to be everywhere.
