Birders et al,
I agree with Ardith. Not all do this be it photographers, birders or others.
Please please leave the PRWA along and do not capture it!! IF anything buy some
mealworms, bugs to feed it i anything
They are bug eaters NOT bread eaters
for goodness sake. Bread is like rice it blows

To clarify, I don't think the bird should be rehabbed.
The whole discussion is rather foolish

to interfere with this bird by actually catching it and trying to

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.

The bird is staying around(possibly 3-4 weeks) because people are feeding it.
This bird is not acting like a wild bird anymore, more like a house sparrow.
The two days I went, random non-birders were feeding it, bologna , bread etc...
They think its a canary.
Whether a birder or photographer

I just returned from viewing the Warbler at the NYPL.
I was very annoyed to witness a photographer feeding the bird pieces of bread

said to me, everyone is doing it.

I apologize to any readers of my last post who found my report ambiguous. The
Prothonotary Warbler I was referring to is the bird that has been being seen
