It is my understanding that this bird has been fed by the "residents"
for some time now, with no apparent ill effects.
I was not aware that warblers ate bread at all. Obviously the bird is
being effectively opportunistic.
could anyone with much more knowledge on the topic, comment on the
relative unusualness of a warbler doing so?

I just returned from viewing the Warbler at the NYPL.
I was very annoyed to witness a photographer feeding the bird pieces of
bread to tease it out from behind the bushes. When I confronted the
photographer, he said to me, everyone is doing it.
Whether everyone was doing it or not, it is wrong and in no way justifies
his action.
I think as people who love and respect wildlife we should speak out when we
see endangering migratory
birds by feeding them.
