Hi, Holly,

They've nested across the Mississippi in Crosby Park in recent years.  I =
verified nesting in 1998, and have seen them there most years since.

  Subject: [mou] Prothonotary Warbler refound, Snelling St. Pk., TC Area


  Today Val Cunningham and Holly Peirson went a-birding at Snelling =
State Park. Upon asking, we got a tip from park personnel that the =
marshy bottomland area directly under the Hwy 55 bridge and opposite the =
Visitor's Center parking lot might be good habitat for the prothonotary =
warbler that was mentioned last week.=20

  =20

  We walked to the end of the parking lot just to the W side of the =
bridge and immediately heard the bird. We could not find the bird, but =
knew it was there. We went off for a walk around Pike Island, and saw =
and heard many other species (51 total for the day), had some lunch, =
studied the map, and walked around to another trail to try again for the =
warbler (trail from Visitor Center that goes along parallel to bridge, =
then turns to go west under bridge, along the Minnesota River.)=20

  =20

  This time we were lucky. We immediately heard it singing, and followed =
the song to the bird, who was flying around the area gleaning bugs from =
leaves and then sitting on perches for some time. We had very good looks =
at it! Then it went to a snag and although it was behind trees and hard =
to see, we think it has a nest. We only saw one bird, but there was a =
flurry of activity near the nest snag. To see the possible nest, find a =
large deadfall along the side of the trail away from the river, look =
into the woods, and find a snag that is alone, not associated with =
another tree stump, approximately 15' high, totally devoid of bark, =
light brown. The possible nest is about 1' from the top on the west side =
of the snag.

  =20

  The bird is almost constantly singing, a loud sweet, sweet, sweet, =
sweet, varying from 4-7. Time first heard was about 11:00, seen was =
about 2:30. Thanks for the earlier tip, great bird!
