Bob Harris and I were in a canoe doing Prothonotary nest box surveys at Dutch
Gap and were happy to run in to Ben and Betsy. We had Prothonotary males
singing a t a good majority of the nest boxes. Many Carolina Chickadee's have
taken up residence in the Prothonotary boxes with 38 eggs we counted and 48
nestlings out of 100 boxes. A few Tree Swallows are trying to stake a claim as
well but no completed nests.
To add to your list we had a good look at a flyover Anhinga, 2 vocalizing
Barred Owls, Mallards and Blue-grey Gnatcatchers. The number of Osprey and
Eagles were really exciting. We also got a great look at a Caspian Tern diving
with success for fish. Several deer were bounding through the marsh vegetation
and we saw a Woodchuck along the shore.
Spectacular day outside,
Julie Kacmarcik
