While hiking students around Hard Bargain Farm today I was lucky enough 
to see a first-of-year Prothonotary Warbler. We had excellent views at 
about 50 feet. He was checking out a cavity so I'll check back for 
nesting activity sometime soon. We also have Eastern Bluebirds and Tree 
Swallows sitting on eggs and the Osprey keep snagging handfuls 
(feetful?) of dried grass from the fields. It's getting very birdy 
around here!
