Dave and I were there today. We parked on the right after crossing the green bridge. Bill Roberts (or Robertson, sorry Bill) was there and hadn't seen the Prothonotary yet. We walked the road and almost immediately heard one, then two - one on each side of the road. (I was wearing Dave's bright yellow windbreaker). Dave saw one and got me on it. A little later, we had another view which Bill saw. We had 6 warbler species including Ceruleun and 3 flycatchers including Acadian. Pizza for all. Best, Ann
