I agree. Was there this AM and although I did have a Northern Waterthrush last week, not today. No Prothonotary, Cerulean, Mourning (early anyway?).

Unfortunately however this private property has had some ditching/drainage work done which is draining that swamp into the Clyde River. The ditch was flowing steadily and I fear the swampy woods there will be drained in no time, eliminating the habitat there for the Prothonotary warblers as well as Northern waterthrush, Wood duck and a host of other species. While these birds nest at other locations in the Montezuma complex it is saddening that this place may no longer provide wonderful opportunities to see these birds. I will try to find out more information regarding the plan for the swamp but at this point it doesn't look good.
