This afternoon Al LaSala and I checked activity along my nest box trail
section in Area N of the Hoover Nature Preserve. The Prothonotary Warblers are
back in numbers as I counted 22 males singing their lungs out as the
females have now returned to the preserve. Scarlet Tanagers were present in
unusually good numbers and we located Brown Creepers in the area they nested
last year. Now with patience I'll try to locate the nest site. For an
afternoon walk [ushered at church in the morning] activity was steady and there
was a nice variety of birds.

Double-crested Cormorant
