Thanks for all of that information Bob. We knew of one Great Blue Heron rookery
on that watershed. The one you mentioned makes two.

Subject: Fishtrap Birding
Today we went birding at Fishtrap Lake in Pike County. We hike an old
gas well road and it provides a variety of habitat.
The first part of the road is definitely Redstart territory. I could not tell
you
how many Redstarts we saw along this bit of road. They were many---both
males and females. Including one pair that were either building a nest or
sitting on the nest.
We also saw and heard a Catbird and Acadian Flycatcher.
And just heard Hooded Warblers and I fairly sure a tanager.
Also we've spotted at least one and perhaps two Great Blue Heron
nests in the area. We spotted one last year and were able to see
the young herons demanding food. Sure enough they are back again
this spring.
