When Lee Trott and I lived in McLean, Virginia, we made an annual spring pilgrimage to hear, then see, this bright bird along the tow path at Seneca, Maryland.
During my years at the Madeira School near McLean, a Prothonotary Warbler chose to nest in a bluebird box I had placed on a pole in the shallows of Black Pond, a small lake near the Potomac. That seemed a special gift.
The woods and fields of the upper Virginia Piedmont climb and dip through a variety of altitude; this results in splendid diversity of plant life.
This diversity results in many species of birds for each species has its preference for the habitat which altitude and plants determine. Surely a pair of golden swamp warblers has taken up residence along some stream or at the edge of some pond created by beavers.
