Today Shuane Skinner, her father, Jim Skinner and I headed out again on
Shanue’s boat, the “SS Hoover” to monitor areas for the OBBA and Prothonotary
Warbler territories. Rumor has it that Shaune’s boat has a designer flag reading
“Warning, This Boat Stops for Birds.”
The day was a great success as we located numerous species. Highlights
included: 2 Bald Eagles (1 adult and 1 immature, a 3rd year bird based on its
plumage); numerous Prothonotary Warblers, with 10 new locations GPS’d in,
bringing the 2007 count at Hoover to 157; we lost count of the Green Herons which
seem to be holding their own at Hoover; Hooded Mergansers; Osprey (the 2 adults
and young at the platform in Area M and another adult that flew over the
nest causing the resident male to become extremely agitated; and Yellow-billed
Cuckoos doing flyovers.
