Keep South Carolina Wild
February 26, 2025
SCWF recently held a workshop for Project Prothonotary, an ongoing conservation effort to enhance habitat for a declining bird species known as the prothonotary warbler. This project focuses specifically on installing nesting boxes for prothonotary warblers in the Catawba-Wateree watershed of South Carolina. Hosted at the Catawba Nation, workshop participants learned about how to identify nests of certain species, bird breeding biology, and best practices for monitoring bird nests.


Volunteers were trained in nest box monitoring for prothonotary warblers and data collection using NestWatch. Starting in the spring, volunteers will begin checking nest boxes each week for signs of nesting activity! To learn more about Project Prothonotary, visit https://www.scwf.org/projectprothonotary/
