Several things announce for sure the arrival of spring at this local Greenville, NC nature park -- The arrival of the pair of Ospreys that annually nest at the power lines, the appearance of the Canada Geese parents with their new goslings on the ponds, a few migrating Warblers and Vireos, and the sure arrival of the beautiful Prothonotary Warblers to rebuild their nests in the swamp areas. Over the past two weeks I have visited the Park on 3 occasions and have observed all of the above. In fact, if you are reading this and can get to this site, it is a good time over the next 2-3 weeks to see the spring warblers which migrate through our area. A few migrants that I have gotten photos (below) of are the Blue-gray Gnatcatcher, the White-eyed Vireo, the Black and White Warbler, and of course the Prothonotary Warbler. The spring wildflowers are in bloom, and a few early butterflies can be seen.
This is a great time to visit this site. The River Park Bird Club will have its annual spring bird walk next Sunday, April 30. If you can, please join us for a tour of this habitat.
