Hi all, I've been receiving a couple emails, after my report of a Prothonotary Warbler in Central Park, questioning me on whether the bird I saw was the one released earlier in the day (3+ hours) by the Wild Bird Fund. Short answer, I don't know. I was at work all day long.
I'm assuming that the implied question is, whether a sighting of a rare/unusual bird is countable after the release of a bird of the same species in the same county. What do you think?
