I found two Prothonotary Warblers (one bringing insects to young in a tree cavity and one foraging about a quarter-mile to the west) while paddling the Clyde River at Mays Point, Montezuma National Wildlife Refuge. Six Bald Eagles were there too. I was in the original Clyde River channel, not the enlarged, Barge Canal section. Here is my eBird list for the outing.
