Hi All,
I birded Youghiogheny Reservoir for a couple of hours today, overall it was pretty quiet, the definite highlight being the PROTHONOTARY WARBLER about 65 meters from the parking area. The water levels are still quite high with no available shorebird habitat to speak of. I have posted a record shot of the Prothonotary that can be viewed via the link at the bottom. Here's the list-
