This morning after the rain stopped, I went to Dublin Kiwanis Riverway 
Park (Franklin)to monitor boxes.  I barely had time to change into my 
boots when Darlene Sillick showed up.  Together we got a pretty good list 
of first of season (for us anyway) birds.  The highlights were 
prothonotary warbler, yellow warbler, spotted sandpiper, solitary 
sandpiper, oriole, and a possible rose-breasted grosbeak.

Afterwards we went up to Twin Lakes (Delaware) to check some of Darlene's 
boxes.  Here we put together another list including, northern parula 
(first of season), yellow warbler, prothonotary warbler, green heron, 
great blue heron, as well as the usual suspects.
