This report is late but Kathy Strickland & I went to Armitage Rd. Sun. evening (where do the days go???). With her exc. hearing she was able to pinpoint the locality of the warbler & eventually found it almost in her face. We both had wonderful views as the setting sun really highlighted its colors as it sang its "evening" song to us. NO guidebook pictures do justice to that beautiful bird!!!
Kathy was certain she heard 2 birds, one on each side of the river. We parked at the pulloff & walked a fair distance back the road then along the shore from the Rte. 89 side of the bridge. If you walk or drive back the road you'll get to a deep hole in the road where someone has made a new driveway to the right. At that point walk to the river shore & listen. Kathy found a dead limb on a live tree that overhung the water that the bird seemed to favor. She could hear another bird across the river. Skeeters were nasty & poison ivy is plentiful. While this Prothonotary wasn't our 1st ever, it was a thrilling find. The final bird of the day was a hummer zipping across the road in front of us.
