After reading the reports of Prothonotary Warblers seen yesterday I thought I would check the area where I find Prothonotarys at East Fork this morning. It appears that lots of migrants arrived yesterday or last night. When I first arrived White-eyed Vireos were calling from the brush and Wood Thrushes were singing from several locations. I made an attempt to find Louisiana Waterthrush and struck out. I've only found one LOWA at the lake so far this April even though I have checked many areas where they usually are present by this time. While making my way up a woodland creek I heard a Scarlet Tanager singing from high in top of a tree on top of a steep hill beside the creek. It only sang two times and I had no luck trying to find the bird. Yellow-throated Warblers and Northern Parulas were common and vocal this morning. There were also a couple flyover Chimney Swifts. I almost forgot to mention a Prairie Warbler singing this morning.
