Heard and got some great looks at a Prothonotary Warbler at the end of Spring Lake Rd just as you cross Patterson Lake. It was singing between the lake and someone's home, just before the road curves/heads into Blackhawk Bottoms.
I'll be posting photos of Blue-winged, Prothonotary, Cerulean, Kentucky, Yellow-breasted Chat, Prairie, Pine, and Hooded Warblers in the next few days. In all I had 11 warblers and several other great birds over the last couple days around Burlington/Shimek State Forest. I also had around 10 butterfly species. Thanks again John Rutenbeck for a memorable day of birding yesterday!
