Lord Stirling’s Prothonotary Warblers, 6/5/2011

From Harvey Tomlinson:

Hey All,

Spent several hours yesterday observing the Prothonotary Warblers at Stirling and counted 5 birds. A pair at the beaver hut, a pair at the E. tower and a single singing male a few hundred yards up stream from the E. tower.
I cannot verify the 3rd male has a mate despite an hr of watching.
The other 2 pairs spent the morning catching food and returning to the nesting area. I would say this activity verifies two active nest’s w/ young. The female at the beaver hut was really disturbed by my camera shutter, so I stopped w/ the photos.
The Barred Owl family is now 5.

Good local birding,
Harvey
