Armitage Rd 6/20/26

Nine of us met on Armitage Road (Yang Y, Leslie P, Allyn P, Lynn J, Steve & Linda B and Steve & Lori VK) on a cool, partly cloudy Saturday morning.  As we walked up and down the road, we picked up quite a few birds in a little over an hour, hearing more than we saw.  The Warbling Vireos and Northern Yellow Warblers were singing everywhere and it's always a joy to hear the Wood Thrush's fluting call off in the distance.

After some campers left, we took a walk down to canal to see what we might find and immediately heard the Prothonotary Warbler singing.  Glad it is still in the area despite the loss of it's nesting spots on Armitage Road. 

Thanks to Lyn J for keeping the list!

Prothonotary Warbler  1     The bird was heard loudly singing - sweet sweet sweet sweet sweet sweet sweet sweet - from across the Erie Canal, just north of the Wayne Co. line. It was north of the "green, one-way bridge" pictured in Merlin, copyright Jay McGowan, under habitat examples for Prothonotary Warbler.
