Looks like the magic time on Thursday to see the Prothonotary today was 9:30. Three visitors timed it right and arrived soon after we found the bird a little east of where it has most often been seen. It was just about 20 feet beyond where our new sanctuary fence ends in the River Birch on the lake side of the trail before it disappeared again..
Which, by the way, reminds me to extend a huge public thank you to the Rocky Mountain Bird Observatory who matched the funds that we had collected from the town of Estges Park and the Bureau of Reclamation to build a fence around a large portion of the Matthews-Reeser Sanctuary to prevent the elk from completely destroying the the habitat in the sanctuary. A 3200 linear foot fence now encircles the north side of the sanctuary. We locals and many visitors will now be able to enjoy this prime birding habitat for many years. I hope all the recent visitors were also appreciative of this fence. THANK YOU RMBO.
