I spotted a Prothonotary Warbler this morning from Terrace Bridge in Prospect Park looking south over the lower Lullwater. The bird landed in a tree right below me and then flew down close to the water and moved around the marshy edge of the Lull. I ran around and below in an attempt to follow the bird. Peter Dorosh has many of us on Twitter so I sent out the word and within a minute or two a flash mob of birders appeared; but the Prothonotary was being uncooperative. It was shortly sighted from across the Lullwater but it continued to elude us all. Later it has been seen at the end of the Peninsula Meadow high in a large budding Beech Tree. Since Wednesday there have been 2 other sightings of the PROW in the same area so we assume the bird is continuing. But unfortunately it is a "skulker" and not cooperative like the Bronx bird.
