I checked my six Prothonotary boxes along the C&O Canal yesterday and today
with the following results:

       Riley's Lock

             #1 - Empty.  Wet nesting material removed.
             #2 - Empty.  Male defending box, not happy I was there.
             #3 - Empty.  Wet nesting material removed.
             #4 - Four half grown chicks

       Violettes Lock

             #1 - Four eggs.  Female flew off when box opened.

       Pennyfield Lock

             #1 - Dried duck weed on bottom shows this box flooded in recent
monsoons.  No nesting material anyway.  Did the Prothos suspect?
