Calling all bird lovers

Lower Makefield Township's Bird of the Month for May 2026
The Prothonotary Warbler

  • 💛 A flash of gold in the forest – Often called the “Golden Swamp Warbler,” males are brilliantly yellow-orange with blue-gray wings, making them one of the most eye-catching birds in eastern wetlands.
  • 🌿 A rare tree-cavity nester – Unlike most warblers, they nest in holes in trees (or nest boxes) near water—similar to bluebirds.
  • 🌊 Swamp specialist – Look for them in wooded swamps, floodplains, and along slow-moving streams where standing water is common.
  • đŸŽ¶ Loud, ringing song – Despite their small size, their clear, repeated “sweet-sweet-sweet” song carries far through the trees.
  • 🐛 Insect hunters – They forage low over water, picking insects, spiders, and even small snails from leaves and bark.
  • 🧭 Long-distance travelers – These birds migrate from the eastern U.S. to Central and northern South America each year.
  • đŸȘș Conservation note – They benefit greatly from nest box programs and the protection of wetland habitats.

FYI - You can visit local warbler birdhouses! Here are directions to LMT's Prothonotary Warbler houses, which were put in place last fall: At the canal and Black Rock Road, go towards Morrisville, to the wide waters.  About a 1/4 mile from Black Rock, there is a bench and a makeshift bridge.  Cross the bridge and go left on the path.  You will see the three houses in fairly close proximity
