Today the continuing top warblers Prothonotary and Hooded put in their appearances still giving great looks and excellent opportunities for birders still on the prowl for these birds.
West Island and Three Sisters Islands to the east remain the Prothonotary domain. Besides West Island , the Prothonotary Warbler had been visiting Three Sisters Islands as well, mostly to the westernmost island . It pays to scour the shoreline between the Islands
Meanwhile after a day absence ,the Hooded Warbler remains on Lookout Hill, appearing on the central southern slope above the Well Drive three shipping containers.Spotted just past 230, it traveled downward from the middle path ..

And from Humming-Bird to Eagle, the daily existence of every bird is a remote and bewitching mystery.
