Brandon Breen and I found several Prothonotary Warblers at Crosby Farm Park this morning. One female was right along the paved road near the east end of the park (about 100 yards west of where the road curves west on the south edge of the lake).
We also ventured back to the backwater location that has been their traditional breeding ground. In this area, we saw at least two singing males, a female, and at one point, a male and female enter a nest hole. Remaining floodwaters make it very difficult (and muddy and wet) to access this location. You must cross 2 different sloughs on somewhat perilous fallen logs, so it is not a proposition for the faint-hearted. Other migrant activity in the park was relatively slow compared to last week. Other than the dozens of Redstarts and several Yellowthroats, we had Blackpoll, Tennessee, Golden-winged, Canada, Yellow, and Ovenbird.
