Keep South Carolina Wild
July 26, 2022

Project Prothonotary is a joint conservation effort to enhance nesting habitat for Prothonotary Warblers in South Carolina. Last month, SCWF staff Jay Keck and Savannah Jordan joined Zach Steinhauser and the US Forest Service to check Prothonotary Warbler nest boxes previously installed at Sumter National Forest. Out of the 9 boxes they checked, one had a large nest and another had chicks that were being fed by their parents!
SCWF is partnering with Duke Energy’s Habitat Enhancement Program to install 80 more nest boxes in the Catawba-Wateree watershed. After the nest boxes are installed this winter, they will be checked in late spring to early summer for nesting activity. There will be great opportunities to learn about bird conservation and SCWF is looking for volunteers to assist with this project. You can sign up on our website HERE!
