Here's another clue to how Bob & John missed the Prothonotary Warblers: Bill found them to be inactive yesterday evening too. This was later in the day than when I saw them with Meena on Monday.

Dave, Thanks for including me in your report and thanks to you and Ann I got
a lifer. This was a great
day for me especially with the Prothonotary. I stayed in the area for another
30 minutes and I later
returned in the evening to photograph the Yellow-throated Vireo. No
Prothonotary singing or visible
between 6:00 and 7:30 p.m. I have attached some photos. Take care. Bill

Today (Thursday 2 June) I went with Ann Mitchell to Armitage Rd, among other north basin locations. When we arrived mid-morning we found Bill Roberts standing within a few feet of where I'd seen a Prothonotary Warbler sing a couple days earlier, but he was not having any luck finding this life bird. Ann & I wandered west along the road and within a few minutes heard a PROTHONOTARY WARBLER singing to the north. It moved frequently and at times was right next to the road as it worked its way towards where we had parked, yet Bill did not see it, and after a few minutes it went quiet. After several minutes it began another bout of singing from another part of its territory, again moving several times,but eventually favoring the top of a broken stump about eye-level maybe 15 yards into the swamp, and this time Bill did get to see it. The Prothonotary Warbler from south of the road also sang, but less frequently and further away, and we did not see it. Ann and I also clearly heard a singing ACADIAN FLYCATCHER north of the road and a bit west of where the Prothonotary Warbler action was concentrated.
