Hi all, Thanks to Steve Weston and Jennifer Vieth, I got a better handle on the location of the Hastings Prothonotary Warbler. So, Jill and I went to look for it this morning, along with Ginkgo and Minnie, our Papillons.
We all walked from our place down to the river and we concentrated mostly in the area near where the dike path curves up the hill, birding the woods on either side. We didn't see the Prothonotary, but we did get a whole bunch of good stuff, including several Gray Catbirds, Baltimore Orioles, a male and female Common Yellowthroat, a VERY BRIEF glimpse at a Marsh Wren, a Sora, Chimney Swift, Blue-gray Gnatcatchers, a pair of Green Herons, Yellow Warbler (heard and seen), a Red-eyed Vireo (heard further up the path; we have also had one in our yard), and multiple swallow species (Tree, Barn and Rough-winged), Killdeer, a Spotted Sandpiper and other species. We totatled 40 species for the day. But no Prothonotary. Sigh... Richard Richard L. Wood, Ph. D.

I know how to get to Lock And Dam Number 2, but after that... Richard Richard L. Wood, Ph. D.

Follow the trail behind the fence and across the sand dike to the other side where there is open water on the left side of the trail. It was singing in the trees along the waters edge on the left.
