John Wittenberg just emailed me his report: Prothonotary Warbler, adult male, not singing. Seen approx 5:00 pm at Arshamomaque Preserve in Southold (on the north fork of Long Island). Directions as follows: Stay to trail on left and continue left onto blue trail when it splits. Past sign that says Vernal pond, the trail begins turning right and starts to rise. John saw the bird at the highest point of the rise, and then back and forth from right to left side of trail. The bird was mid-bush height when first seen, and then stayed low on the ground.
Good luck if you go; hopefully the bird will stick around... -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsRULES ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/nysbirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/NYSB.html 3) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/NYSBirds-L Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
