My Spring officially kicked off at 10:02 AM this morning when I found the first Prothonotary Warbler of the year at the Hoover Nature Preserve in Delaware County. The first small wave arrived last night as I located 9 males by noon. Maybe its their absence since last fall but they seemed to be in incredible color this morning. Several were hanging around the old road bed off Front Street in Galena and the rest were scattered in Areas L, M and N.
