Friday, Sept. 1st - Bryant Park, midtown Manhattan in N.Y. City -
A brightly plumaged PROTHONOTARY Warbler was photographed within this park, by
D. Ricci, Friday mid-afternoon, with the location at the north end of that park
(which is at West 42 Street there) and nearer the eastern part when see
I found a Prothonotary yesterday pm in Bryant Park and got some atrocious
record shots.
Fortunately Jean Shum has relocated it this am and got some excellent
photos.
It is in the SW corner of the 'lawn' plantings amid the chaos of turning
the lawn into an ice rink.

The Prothonotary Warbler was present yesterday at 2 p.m., in the southeast
part of the park, behind the Library. At one point, it descended to the
ground as it struggled to consume a Red Admiral. It succeeded (including
the wings), and resumed active foraging.

The Prothonotary Warbler continues (as of 2 p.m. today) in the southeastern
sector of Bryant Park, behind the New York Public Library. At one point, it
descended to the ground as it struggled, and finally succeeded, to eat a
Red Admiral butterfly, including the wings.
