Today I monitored the Prothonotary Warbler nest boxes in three new areas
around the preserve, the coves at Twin Bridges, Area O off Red Bank Road, and
an area on the west shore which was added to the trail this year. I located
and marked 14 new Prothonotary Warbler territories today bringing the current
year’s count to 82. The females have arrived and I watched several bringing
nesting materials to the nest boxes.
Angling to observe nest sites from the steep banks and creeks at Twin
Bridges turned out to be a challenge. I managed to find a deep pool in the stream
and fill one boot with water and later I began sliding down a steep embankment
so I reached to grab something to stop the slide, wrong choice, multiform
rose. A blood sacrifice for the Prothonotary.
