Linda  and I took a walk to check activity at Areas M/N of the Hoover 
Nature Preserve  in Galena (Del. Co.) for new arrivals and her first visit of the 
season to see  the Prothonotary Warblers . The Prothonotaries didn’t 
disappoint her as they put  on their song and view revue. One came close up to 
greet her and do a solo.  Other species of interest included Northern Parula, 
Yellow-throated and  Yellow-rumped Warblers; Red-headed Woodpeckers drilling 
out a new cavity; a  Hooded Merganser hen and a Caspian Tern. 
With  the lack of measurable rain the water level is receding rapidly. The 
bases of  the nest boxes will soon become exposed and make access by 
predators a danger.  Time for a rain dance.
