I found a really neat spot to search for birds near Bloomington, IN, called Bean Blossom Marsh. It is a 2.5 mile circuit on a raised boardwalk through old farm fields, wetlands and wooded swampy ground. On my first circuit I heard and ID’d, with the help of Merlin, 32 different birds. I spotted 12 but knew another 10 or so with several calls not known to me. I have not seen a Prothonotary Warbler in a few years so this was a treat.
