!important; } I seem to remember some similar questions re a released
Prothonotary Warbler a while back. Perhaps the kind folks at the WBF could, in
the future, give a heads up to the birding community (via these lists, perhaps)
when releasing locally uncommon or rare species? This would assist both those
who'd like to see and/or count such a bird, and those who'd skip the chase with
such knowledge. I would not expect such notice for locally common or sensitive
species (owls), but for a bird that is likely to be a first for many (either
ABA, County, or CP) such consideration would be nice rather than relying on the
detective work of the community.

Hi All-
A discussion on FB mentioned that a RNGR was released by the Wild Bird
Fund (WBF) into the Central Park Reservoir this week. In a communication
I had with them last night, the WBF confirmed that, in fact, one was
released by them to the Reservoir on Wednesday, which happened to be the
first day one was reported there to NYSBirds. The origin of the bird was
rescue from on-land stranding in Brooklyn. WBF posted to their Facebook
page a video of the bird catching live fish swimming in its waterfowl
rehab pool (pretty amusing, actually). They do that to make sure the
bird can catch its own food before releasing it.
