This morning I walked parts of Area's M & N of the Hoover Nature Preserve
in southern Delaware County. The water levels have risen dramatically in
the past week and the knee height boots I had were not high enough to get
into the entire back regions of my nest box trail. Hip boots next trip!
However, the activity in the parts I managed to check was a good sign. I located
27 male Prothonotary Warblers and watched them collecting moss to build
their false nests in anticipation of the soon to arrive females. How a male
Prothonotary Warbler can sign so loud with a beak full of moss still amazes
me. Other activity was steady and varied with 9 species of warblers, 5
species of thrush and the usual other expected residents.
Observed species included, in part:
Double-crested Cormorant
Wood Duck
Blue-winged Teal
Osprey
Barred Owl
Chimney Swift
Red-headed Woodpecker
Pileated Woodpecker
Great Crested Flycatcher
Eastern Kingbird
Warbling Vireo
Red-eyed Vireo
Blue-gray Gnatcatchers
Veery
Gray-checked Thrush
Swainson’s Thrush
Hermit Thrush
Wood Thrush
Gray Catbird
Tennessee Warbler
Nashville Warbler
Northern Parula
Yellow Warbler
Yellow-rumped Warbler
Yellow-throated Warbler
Palm Warbler
Prothonotary Warbler
Louisiana Waterthrush
Baltimore Oriole
Charlie Bombaci
Hoover Nature Preserve
