Hi Peter, 

we had a very good first walk of the year today,  despite the cold temperatures and wind, and general lack of birds...  :-)

Janet found a yellow-throated warbler on the peninsula, which we all got good looks at.   then we went up to Dog Beach to look for the Prothonotary that Forest W. had previously reported.  we certainly got our steps in circling the pools multiple times and the bird would pop up briefly then fly to the other side of hte island.  Eventually it came in close, opposite Fallkill Falls and everyone got really good looks.  i'm sure the photographers got some good shots. Other than that it was birdy in some spots but not overall.
