[nysbirds-l] Prothonotary Warbler, Bryant Park, Manhattan NYC - Fri., 9/1

[Tom Fiore]

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 seen. If 
going to look there, it will be worth checking near the fountain, which is 
closer to Sixth Ave, and that park’s west side, off West 41st Street, as 
most Prothonotarys can be attracted by any water.

Good birding,

Tom Fiore

[nysbirds-l] Prothonotary Warbler & more, Central Park, NYC - Sat., 4/16

[Tom Fiore]

Central Park, Manhattan (in N.Y. County), N.Y. City - Saturday, April 16th:

A male Prothonotary Warbler showed at “the Pool” in Central Park’s n.-w. 
quadrant quite early on Saturday (it’s at least *slightly possible* this is one 
that was in that park for some days, lurking unnoticed since the prior - 
photographed - sighting days ago, at the C.P. reservoir, however this also may 
be a freshly-arrived individual.) - the Prothonotary was seen Saturday as well 
far to the east in *the Loch* (also sometimes called “the Ravine”) - as well as 
perhaps foraying to the Meer, which is east/northeast of the Loch, all in the 
northern parts of Central Park. Mostly seeming to like the Loch area as of 
mid-morning on Sat.  MANY observers *quietly* tracking this bright bird in the 
morning, and likely will be all-day-long.

Other new or very recent arrivals in Central Park just among the American 
Warblers include Black-throated Green Warbler, Yellow Warbler, Northern Parula, 
Ovenbirds, and ongoing ones include both species of Waterthrush, 
Black-and-white, Palm, Pine, and [Myrtle] Yellow-rumped Warbler[s].  Some of 
these in the southern reaches of the park on Sat. & also much activity at the 
perimters of the park, suggestive of a fairly good arrival in the county, even 
if (possibly) light on total numbers of birds.   Indigo Bunting is also a 
notable at this early-date, and may be indicative of some other 
early-surprises. There are some *reports* coming in of a few other early-birds 
in the county.

Purple Finches, Red-breasted Nuthatches (few of the latter), & a nice variety 
of sparrow species are among the many migrants on show at Central Park on 
Saturday.  Far more to note, at a later time or date. Good birding on a 
partly-sunny & mild, cloudy-later Saturday. 

Thanks to the many quiet and courteous observers who are finding a good number 
of migrants and to K. Fung for the heads-up on this list, on this county’s 
Protho.- always a crowd-pleaser.

[nysbirds-l] Prothonotary Warbler, Central Park, NYC (Sat.-p.m., 4/9)

[Tom Fiore]

Central Park, Manhattan, N.Y. City - Saturday, April 9th, 6:30 p.m. -

thanks to L. Beamer for the eBird report on the (brightly-plumaged) 
Prothonotary Warbler seen later in the day by the Central Park reservoir’s 
[north side of] running track (the path right around the reservoir); the 
warbler foraging along-near the shore there.  

This area (C.P. reservoir) has, over the many years, regularly been the site of 
some of the occurences of this species in N.Y. County.  It is also very 
possible that this individual may make its’ way on to other sections of the 
same park (including parts of the n. end, of same park) or to farther-flung 
localities.  Although the species has a clear, known affinity for being near 
water, it can also show at times in migration at places where less expected or 
“anticipated”.  And of course, this species will sometimes ascend well-above 
the water-line areas in any particular location[s].

Also, it is at least possible more than one individual may turn up, as has 
happened multiple times, again over the years, for that Central Park NYC 
location.

This would be at least the seventh warbler species for Saturday for N.Y. 
County, and the sixth of that day for Central Park. Also, as already noted the 
species had been making appearances elsewhere, notably in Queens County, N.Y. 
City and might well show in some other locations.

good birds - quietly-observed,

Tom Fiore

[nysbirds-l] Prothonotary Warbler continues at Hempstead Lake State Park (Nassau Co.)

[Ken Feustel]

Relocated this morning by birders along the bridal path opposite the basketball 
courts south of Field 1. Observed on both sides of trail, some patience may be 
required as this bird will sometimes skulk. No vocalizations were heard. Other 
birds present in good numbers were Ruby-crowned Kinglet, and Yellow-rumped, 
Palm, and Pine warblers. 

Cheers,

[nysbirds-l] Prothonotary warbler Bryant Park

[Thomas Gray]

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.

[nysbirds-l] Prothonotary Warbler (4th day), Central Park, NYC 8/19

[Thomas Fiore]

Monday, 19 August, 2019

Central Park, Manhattan, N.Y. City -

A male Prothonotary Warbler has lingered in Central Park’s southeast ‘corner’ 
by The Pond, at the west edges of Hallett Sanctuary in particular, since first 
found & photographed by Junko Suzuki on Friday, 8/16 - on Monday 8/19, although 
tough to spot at times, when in deeper foliage & less viewable parts of that 
area, it’s been moving into view at times. The area where seen most often is at 
the narrow western ‘arm’ of the pond, & this location is closest to a park 
entrance at Sixth Ave. & Central Park South. Patience may be rewarded! The 
Prothonotary was still showing somewhat well into late Mon. afternoon when I 
left the area.

Also in the same area (Hallett Sanctuary & The Pond) in Central Park over these 
past 3 days, thru Monday, have been Hooded Warbler, Prairie Warbler, & at least 
5 other warbler species, as well as a few other expected migrants. A drake Wood 
Duck has been an ongoing regular on the Pond.

Central Park had its first migrant thrushes with both Veery & Swainson’s 
Thrushes appearing, in very low numbers, over this past weekend. Many Blue-gray 
Gnatcatchers have been on the move. At least a few migrants have been coming in 
to the smaller parks & greenspaces of Manhattan including a modest variety in 
species of warblers. A different Hooded Warbler, likely one that’s been 
lingering, was in the area of ‘Tanners’ Spring’ & the south slope of Summit 
Rock, near W. 83rd St. in Central Park at least thru Sunday 8/18.

… Incindentally, at least a modest incursion of Prothonotary Warbler had 
occurred in the greater northeast over about the past week, some making it 
quite far north of the northern or eastern known limits of their breeding 
range.  One of those was photographed at a bird-bath on the mid-coast of Maine, 
which also recently had a Brown Booby (farther ‘downeast’ - means even farther 
northeast, in sailing parlance), another species having quite an incursion far 
north of what had been some semblance of geographic limits. 

Good quietly-observant birding to all,

Tom Fiore

[nysbirds-l] Prothonotary Warbler, Central Park, NYC 8/16

[Thomas Fiore]

Friday, 16th August, 2019 
Central Park, Manhattan, N.Y. City -

A bright (apparent male) Prothonotary Warbler has been found (& photographed, 
by J. Suzuki) at The Pond, in Central Park’s southeast quadrant & corner.  The 
sighting at least as first-discovered was around the waterfall feature, which 
is at the Pond’s west edge, nearer to the Sixth Ave. entrance to the park, 
north of Central Park South.  This, to my knowledge, is the first of this 
species reported with documentation for the fall (2nd half of year) migration 
in New York County (for 2019).  Be aware that with this species & at that 
location, it is possible an individual Prothonotary might move all about the 
waters’ edges, or interior woods nearby, & could at times be feeding or moving 
in fairly inaccessible areas; however, much of the Pond and its’ perimeter is 
visible from encircling paths, along with the usual many park-users of that 
area.

In addition, at least 14 (perhaps more) species of other American warblers have 
been found in Central Park, thru all of the park for Friday 8/16. There are 
also some Empidonax flyctachers, all or most of which appear to be, or are (if 
heard) Willow, or “Willow-Alder-type, sometimes called Traill’s” Flyctachers, 
these, esp. Willow, being still the likeliest of migrant Empidonax for this 
mid-Aug. time-frame in this area. There’s a report of an Olive-sided Flycatcher 
as well, and many have been finding E. Kingbirds on the move, some in locations 
not adjacent to where they nested - including parts of Manhattan & the outlying 
isles & on watches for diurnal migrants, as that latter species often is.  
Various additional migrants have shown up & the migration movement region-wide 
over the past few days & nights has been good, whatever the local winds, 
rain-storms, etc. have brought in weather.  Many, many migrants have been & 
still are moving steadily southbound, which means both departure of some - & 
fresh arrivals of ‘new’ birds in the region.

Thanks to J. Suzuki for the special report, & to all who quietly observe & 
discover in our parks & greenspaces.

Good birding,

Tom Fiore

[nysbirds-l] Prothonotary Warbler contn’ing: Oscawana Island, Westchester

[Anne Swaim]

Prothonotary Warbler just relocated, 2nd day, Oscawana Island, Crugers, 
Westchester. 

Of note: this small Hudson River overlook, b/n Croton Point and George’s Island 
(Google map link below), has had a very good diversity of warblers these past 
two cold, rainy days including multiple Cape May, Blackpoll, as well as many 
other sp.

[nysbirds-l] Prothonotary Warbler, Central Park, NYC Monday 4/22

[Thomas Fiore]

Monday, 22 April, 2019 -
Central Park, Manhattan, N.Y. City

I discovered a  male Prothonotary Warbler around 4:30 pm on a rather rainy 
afternoon, at The Pond in the southeastern corner of the park, seen by chance 
on a walk not really seeking birds (and no bins in hand); luckily, a few others 
could be alerted & with word getting out, a fair number of other birders got to 
see the Prothontary in the late hours of the day. It spent a good deal of time 
by the stone bridge at the N. side of the main pond, known as Gapstow bridge, 
and was feeding a lot near the water, occasionally into low branches near 
there, including near all 4 “corners” of this small stone arched foot bridge. 
The location is very near Fifth Avenue & about E. 61st Street, a bit west into 
the park from there, & is also a very popular tourist destination for sky-line 
photos & such. I was with Kristine Wallstrom who helped me get the word out, & 
also helped to get some photos with a pocket camera. As we departed, more 
birders were arriving.  Hopefully, it may stay over a while, and give more 
seekers a chance to view. N.B., all of the pond edges & crannies could be 
checked, should the warbler not be in evidence on further search.

- - 
(a p.s. on a bird-banding code used by me; I realized a few minutes late that a 
code for American Golden Plover is not normally AMGO - Mea culpa.)

good luck,

Tom Fiore

[nysbirds-l] Prothonotary Warbler+, Prospect Park-Kings Co., NYC Tues., 4/16

[Thomas Fiore]

Tuesday, 16 April 2019 - Prospect Park, N.Y. City -

Thank you, Linda Ewing, for the find of a bright male Prothonotary Warbler, 
giving the many Kings/Brooklyn birders & at least Manhattanite (me) great views 
along the upper Lullwater not far from the Prospect Park Boathouse - this is in 
Brooklyn, New York City.  Also still present are at least one Yellow-throated 
Warbler, near the Lower Pool area, which is west & well up towards the slope in 
Prospect Park; additional migrants at Prospect Park this Tues. a.m. included at 
least 4 other warbler species, all expected by now. Many other migrants & some 
resident spp. also were noted.  A great morning in Kings County-N.Y.C. birding.

good luck to all that go,

In reviewing my photos from yesterday and more recent images from today, it 
appears that something is wrong with the bird's right eye. What appeared 
slightly squinty yesterday (https://ebird.org/view/checklist/S45067660) is much 
more noticeably out of sorts today 
(https://ebird.org/view/checklist/S45110744). Tick? Injury? It certainly didn't 
seem to slow the warbler down: it was foraging vigorously and singing with 
gusto both days that I saw it. Did anyone get any clear images of it's right 
side when it was first found on Saturday, to see if this occurred after its 
arrival? I wouldn't be surprised if the bird rides the favorable winds out 
tonight or tomorrow, but if its condition or any other factors keep it here it 
would be interesting to keep an eye (heh) on how the situation progresses.

 

Cheers!

Re: [nysbirds-l] Prothonotary Warbler, Hempstead Lake, Nassau

[Timothy Healy]

In reviewing my photos from yesterday and more recent images from today, it
appears that something is wrong with the bird's right eye. What appeared
slightly squinty yesterday (https://ebird.org/view/checklist/S45067660) is
much more noticeably out of sorts today (
https://ebird.org/view/checklist/S45110744). Tick? Injury? It certainly
didn't seem to slow the warbler down: it was foraging vigorously and
singing with gusto both days that I saw it. Did anyone get any clear images
of it's right side when it was first found on Saturday, to see if this
occurred after its arrival? I wouldn't be surprised if the bird rides the
favorable winds out tonight or tomorrow, but if its condition or any other
factors keep it here it would be interesting to keep an eye (heh) on how
the situation progresses.

Cheers!
-Tim H

Re: [nysbirds-l] Prothonotary Warbler - Yes

Following up on the earlier post, we found the warbler investigating recesses 
in the westernmost wall of the referenced building, which I believe to be the

[nysbirds-l] Prothonotary Warbler Marine Park, BK

[Adrian Burke]

The Prothonotary Warbler is back at the south end of the Nature Center
after being absent here for a few hours.

Earlier, I had the bird for a few minutes in a relatively leafy tree south
of the road maybe 50 yards to the east of the nature center, so it appears
to be making rounds of the area.

[nysbirds-l] Prothonotary Warbler at Connetquot River State Park (Suffolk Co.)

[Ken Feustel]

A singing male Prothonotary Warbler was found this morning (approx. 9:00AM) at 
Connetquot River State Park. The bird was singing in the Oaks on the west side 
of the river just north of the fish hatchery parking lot. The bird appeared to 
be moving north along the river and after a short period ceased singing 
altogether. A poor but recognizable photo is on my Flickr site.

Sue and I spent a few weeks in early May birding in Arizona. Highlights of the 
trip included Tufted Flycatcher, Flame-colored Tanager, Black-capped 
Gnatcatcher, and Thick-billed Kingbird. A few photos from our trip are included 
on my Flickr site.

The bird is singing and preening. It has a deformed lower mandible, 
significantly longer that the upper mandible, but otherwise looks well.

[nysbirds-l] Prothonotary Warbler - Eastport, Suffolk Co.

[Taylor Sturm]

For those not chasing a Neotropic Cormorant or trying to refind a Bl-throated 
Gray Warbler:
Last night Pamela Bracken Morrison posted to Facebook a photo of a Prothonotary 
Warbler that she found in Eastport, Suffolk County, and it continues this 
morning. 
The bird is south of a small bridge (which crosses a creek/tidal outflow) on 
East Moriches Blvd just West of Pepperidge Lake Rd. 
It is on the West shoreline working south. 
Good birding,
Taylor Sturm

[nysbirds-l] Prothonotary Warbler, Mad. Square Park, NYC 5/4

[Tom Fiore]

Sunday, 4 May, 2014 - mid-morningMadison Square Park, Manhattan, N.Y. City (add'l. directions below)A male PROTHONOTARY WARBLER continues in Madison Square Park, which is located between E. 23 & 26 Streets and from Fifth Avenue & Broadway on the western side (those avenues have a junction there, at 23rd St.), and Madison Ave. on the eastern side.  I (re) found the Prothonotary (first seen here Sat. late-day, reported here & to other lists by Gabriel Willow), this morning as of about 9:45 a.m. after some searching, & finding other migrants. The Prothonotary appeared to be favoring various trees more-or-less surrounding an active large fountain-pool, very close to the ShakeShack restaurant which is inside the park, closer to 23rd Street & about 1/2-way from Fifth to Madison Ave's. This warbler (like many of the other species present) was staying rather high in taller trees and branches but it did briefly come down onto a totally dead large cut-off tree-trunk that's about 10+ feet high, obvious & just south of the fountain pool. I took a number of document-quality photos and observed the bird for up to 15+ minutes before moving on.  Also present in this relatively small urban park were at least these additional warblers:  N. Parula (several), Yellow (1), Black-throated Green (1), Black-and-white (1 or 2), Yellow-rumped [Myrtle] (several), Ovenbird (several), N. Waterthrush (1), Common Yellowthroat (2), and a few that got away in the higher foliage; also - Wood, Hermit & a Catharus Thrush species, possibly another Hermit; as well as multiple Ruby-crowned Kinglets, White-throated Sparrows, & at least a few Swamp & Song Sparrows, plus E. Towhee; and among other migrants - Gray Catbird (several), Baltimore Oriole, Scarlet Tanager (male), and likely a couple of others that got away...  some birds seemed to be trying, and possibly succeeding in going onward in a general north-ward direction well past anything like dawn or sunrise. However, a lot of birds were merely circulating somewhat around this small park, which can be circumnavigated in as little as 15 minutes, or a lot more time when seeking arboreal migrants.Thanks again to Gabriel Willow for finding this bird, & to Anders P. & Matthew R. for assisting with getting yesterday's reports out very rapidly. Good luck to any who try here and do be patient, the Prothonotary is virtually certain to remain all day today & may possibly be slightly (or strongly) attracted to the water feature[s], esp. the small amount of water that is flowing and circulating at any fountain[s].  I also much more briefly tried Bryant Park (at 40th-42nd Streets, Fitfth-Sixth Ave's.) in Manhattan but found relatively few of any sort of migrant species just a few minutes ago...this report generated on a super-duper brand new Mac at the Apple store on Fifth Ave. at 59th Street. Open 24/7 and very busy...Good luck,Tom FioreManhattan

[nysbirds-l] Prothonotary Warbler Madison Sq Park nyc

[Gabriel Willow]

Just spotted a male Prothonotary Warbler in the tree at the SW corner of 
Madison Sq Park (the tall tree behind the Seward statue).

Also seen: B&W Warbler, Northern Parula, Black-throated Green Warbler, about 8 
Hermit Thrushes on the lawn in the center of the park, alongside an Ovenbird.

Not bad for 5 minutes of birding while passing through!

Hey Arie,

I don't know the compass directions up there, as I gps'd my way there and am 
unfamiliar with that preserve before today. 

Drive into the preserve entry off Norwood Road and park at the circle in front 
of the house/center. There is a large mural mounted in the grass. Next to it is 
a gate and you enter the trail there. It is a concrete trail down a steep hill. 
When you get to the bottom, take a right on the wooded trail and go about 40 
yards. There is a wooden bridge that is collapsed in the middle (still safe, I 
walked across it) - right after that is the area where the bird was foraging at 
waters edge.

Very tame and cooperative bird, I came from work and had no camera, which I 
really regretted. 

Thanks,
Tim Dunn

Hi Tim

Is the area you describe obvious? I'm not so familiar with this spot.

There are 2 ponds no? If you have any additional landmarks it would be 
appreciated

The prothonotary warbler was present at Fuchs Pond Preserve in Northport/Fort 
Salonga at 6:15pm, offering great views. It was down the hill, alongside the 
pond near the "broken" bridge.  Still present around 6:45pm when I left the

May stick around until tomorrow given the windy conditions.

This bird was at the Peninsula today. I did not see the bird but am passing on

the one in Greenwood Cemetary on Tuesday.  Also did not hit the list.  Not sure 
why.

Re:[nysbirds-l] Prothonotary Warbler at Muttontown Preserve

[John Gluth]

For those using GPS or GoogleMaps the coordinates of the kettle hole described 
by Ken are: 40.831019°  -73.535277°.
Other birds in the area included Great Crested Flycatcher, Common Yellowthroat, 
and Rose-breasted Grosbeak--all heard only.
Several Blue-winged Warblers were singing on territory. A Blue-winged seen well 
only by Bob Kurtz was heard by both of us 
to sing a Golden-winged song, but showed no other apparent physical signs of 
hybridization. More photos of the Prothonotary 
can be viewed here:

[nysbirds-l] Prothonotary Warbler at Muttontown Preserve (Nassau Co.)

[ken feustel]

The Prothonotary Warbler found earlier in the day at Muttontown Preserve was 
relocated about 2:30PM at one of the Preserve's kettlehole ponds. The pond can 
be identified by a concrete horse trough located just northeast of the pond and 
a large fallen tree north of the pond. The bird was actively foraging around 
the fallen tree from ground level to about fifteen feet. Also present around 
the tree were Palm, Yellow, and Black & White Warblers, and Blue-gray 
Gnatcatcher. To find the warbler park in the equestrian parking lot on the west 
side of Rt. 106. take the trail south from the northwest corner of the parking 
lot.  After a short walk you will come to a fork in the trail. A downed tree on 
your right has pink surveyor's tape wrapped around it - take the left fork. The 
trail should descend down to a series of kettleholes. Look for the kettlehole 
described earlier. Be aware that the preserve has a maze of trails and it is 
easy to miss the kettleholes. Good luck if you go. A few photos of the warbler 
can be found on my flickr site.

[nysbirds-l] Prothonotary Warbler, Riverhead

[Steve Walter]

This day evolved into a butterfly outing to some of my favorite pine barrens
spots, such as Cranberry Bog County Park in Riverhead (Suffolk co.). I
enjoyed a few Brown Elfins and Spring Azures along the entrance off Lake Ave
(CR 63). Then, spurred on by finding an early Blue Corporal (dragonfly), I
went to look for others from the wooden bridge over the so called Little
River, which flows into Sweezy Pond. No dragonflies, but bopping around
along the shore below the bridge was a PROTHONOTARY WARBLER. It was only
around briefly, as it made its away upstream without allowing pictures good
enough for posting. I don't know how re-findable it might be, but I do have
to say that this spot looks as good as any on Long Island for potential
breeding.

 

Shortly afterwards, a Turkey Vulture flew over. That's hardly worth a
mention anymore (oops, I did), as they seem to become ever more frequent and
widespread on Long Island. In fact, I saw TVs at four different locations
today, including the Dwarf Pine Barrens, where I suspect they may have bred
previously.

[nysbirds-l] Prothonotary Warbler NYC 5/8

[Tom Fiore]

Tuesday, 8 May, 2012 - Bryant Park, Manhattan, N.Y. City

The long-staying PROTHONOTARY Warbler remains in Bryant Park in mid- 
town Manhattan, seen earlier today in the SW part of the park, as  
reported by Matthew Rymkiewicz, and by others off any list-serve. The  
SW part of Bryant Park is nearer to the corner of Sixth Avenue and  
40th Street than to other parts of the park.  There have not been any  
additional reports of a Kentucky Warbler from the same park in some  
days.  In the past week, more than a dozen species of wood-warblers  
had been found in Bryant Park including Blackpoll Warbler on both  
Friday and Saturday with multiple observers of that & many others of  
the migrants in that small space.

Good luck,

Tom Fiore,
Manhattan

[nysbirds-l] Prothonotary Warbler, Bryant Park (Manhattan)

[Douglas Futuyma]

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.

[nysbirds-l] Prothonotary Warbler, Bryant Park (Manhattan)

[Douglas Futuyma]

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.

[nysbirds-l] Prothonotary Warbler, NYC, 4/24

[Tom Fiore]

Tuesday, 24 April, 2012  -  Manhattan (mid-town), N.Y. City

The PROTHONOTARY Warbler is still present at Bryant Park.  I found it  
after about 30+ minutes looking, low in London plane tree branches at  
the north side of the large open lawn, and about where a "break" in  
the adjacent plantings is for access to and from W. 42 St., and the  
lawn. This is almost opposite the western end of the large white- 
facaded Grace building which stands across W. 42 St. from Bryant  
Park.  The warbler also came down to the plantings immediately near  
the lawn for a short time, then back up into trees.  Sighting was from  
11:55 - noon & unfortunately, one other birder I'd seen had just  
departed a few minutes earlier... nor did I see other birders.  If you  
try, I suggest walking the perimeter of the lawn and the plantings  
around it, looking in plane trees, as well as within the vegetation  
below. It seems to be the only bright yellow object flying-flitting in  
the park this day...

(other birds seen were of more standard variety.)

Good luck,

Tom Fiore,
Manhattan

[nysbirds-l] Prothonotary Warbler, NYC's Bryant Park, 4/23

[Tom Fiore]

Monday, 23 April, 2012   -   Bryant Park, mid-town Manhattan, N.Y. City

A PROTHONOTARY Warbler has been found and is being seen as of mid-day  
today at the southeast section of Bryant Park, which is roughly midway  
from Sixth towards Fifth Ave. on the 40th Street side of the park. The  
bird has been moving in trees at and near the plantings area, & not  
far from the larger restaurant, all behind (west of) the NY Public  
Library's main branch building.  Matthew Rymkiewicz spotted and  
reported the warbler.  There are a modest variety of additional  
migrants in the park today as well.  Good luck if going; this is not  
even a Bryant Park "record" although new for the year there!

-  -  -  -  -  -  -  -  -  -
P.S., at Central Park in the same borough/city, it was slow going with  
the only notable being at least one Orange-crowned Warbler still near  
the Loch/Wildflower Meadow area at that park's north end this a.m. - a  
check of all the park's waterbodies revealed no unexpected birds,  
after the storm.

[nysbirds-l] Prothonotary Warbler Sunken Meadow SP, Suffolk Co.

[pjlindsay]

Ken Thompson just called to report that a Prothonotary Warbler was seen 
by a member of his group this afternoon at Sunken Meadow SP. The bird 
was along the north edge of parking field 1 between the main building 
and the playground to the east, presumably the same bird found by the 
Feustels at the dump here (NW corner of field 2) on Oct 22, but who 
knows?


Good luck if you go.

[nysbirds-l] Prothonotary Warbler @ Rockefeller Park Preserve

[Evan Mark]

A female Prothonotary Warbler was near the visitor center on the path to
 Swan Lake 10:30am this morning. It then flew to a large patch of Angelica 
Trees beginning to fruit
 along the start of the Overlook Trail. It was associated with a small flock of
 titmice and a Blue-winged. Staking out the Angelica trees seems a good bet
 as warblers often fly in grab a berry and fly out.
 good luck

[nysbirds-l] Prothonotary Warbler - Brooklyn

[Robert Bate]

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.

[nysbirds-l] Prothonotary Warbler in Southold (Suffolk County): 4/23

[Karen Fung]

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] Prothonotary Warbler, Bronx 4/14

[Tom Fiore]

(Thursday, 14 April) Prothonotary Warbler, Bronx - in the N.Y.  
Botanical Garden

I received a message late last night and only saw it just now, from an  
out-of-state birder who had visited the New York Botanical Garden  
(previously) and met a photographer who took the photo showing a  
Prothonotary Warbler, apparently a female, on Thursday, 14 April 2011  
- the label indicates the bird was seen, and photographed at Twin  
Lakes in the NYBG, which is in the northwest part of the property,  
easily reached by heading north past the main buildings to that end of  
the gardens.  It is possible to walk around, I believe and also can be  
scanned from the path next to the road or from the bridge.  If you go  
and are unfamiliar with the garden, ask any one that works there for  
the location.  (Mike Mastropasqua is the birder who alerted me to this  
find and the photographer was Pat (a woman) Gonzales.  In her photo,  
the bird is initially labeled, "warbler at twin lakes, 4/14".  I'm  
sorry, but what we don't know is whether the Prothonotary was seen  
again by anyone on Friday, 15th. It is the sort of place where that  
species could linger. There also is a lot of appropriate habitat along  
the Bronx river, both inside the garden as well as to the north (near  
that area).  This find should also be a signal that others of this  
species could be around the state - indeed it's not all that  
surprising that this came along when it did as Prothonotarys have  
arrived &/or have been noticed on some breeding territories just south  
of NY, such as in southern NJ,in this past week.

http://www.nybg.org/map/  (Note that on their map's configuration,  
Twin Lakes will be to the far left on the map.)

The website of the N.Y. Botanical garden lists hours, but it may be  
possible to park or arrive earlier to bird the grounds. I've not been  
there recently and can't confirm their policies on that.
http://www.nybg.org/visit/hours.php (this will also give other info on  
the garden).  Note that the garden is closed on Monday.  
http://www.nybg.org/visit/admission_grounds.php 
  (Note that, Saturday until noon, admission to the garden's grounds  
is free, as well as all day on Wednesdays. The standard grounds-entry  
fee for adults (non-Bronx residents) is $8. and there are also parking  
fees if parking at their lot.  Another easy way to get to the N.Y.B.G.  
is by Metro-North commuter train (on weekends, a ticket anywhere  
within N.Y. City only is $3.75 per person one-way. You must request a  
city ticket specifically.)  The Metro-North stop is called the  
"Botanical Garden" and is immediately across the boulevard from a  
pedestrian entrance - (if arriving that way, turn left after entering  
the garden to Twin Lakes area.) An even less-costly way to arrive is  
by subway but you'll be doing a bit more walking as the nearest subway  
is some distance...

Good luck if you should go - and please post if the Prothonotary is re- 
found with location in the garden if it is found again, along with  
other species noted. (Thanks.)

Tom Fiore,
Manhattan

[nysbirds-l] Prothonotary Warbler?

[Laviniamiro]

I just returned from the New York Public Library and there was no sign of the 
Prothonotary Warbler.  I went to the Bryant Park side as well and searched for 
about an hour, still with no luck.  If anyone did spot the Prothonotary, please 
post.

[nysbirds-l] Prothonotary Warbler Tues., 10/26 mid-town Manhattan NYC

[Tom Fiore]

The Prothonotary Warbler in mid-town Manhattan (New York City)  
continued, as it did the day before - & going on all good  
informational evidence, for the past several weeks or more - at the  
front of the New York Public Library on Fifth Avenue and 41 Street,  
the bird often appearing in the plantings and out in the open just to  
the south of the "left" lion statue, and also going to the north side,  
right of the "right" lion statue on occasion. (The 2 lions cannot be  
missed when viewing the main front entrance to the library building  
from Fifth Ave. at 41 Street). In the afternoon today the warbler was  
possibly putting in as much time at the north side as elsewhere. Also  
continuing were several Yellow-bellied Sapsuckers in the nearby locust  
trees.  A number of observers were gathered watching the warbler.

Last Saturday and again this day, the warbler was observed finding  
miniscule insect life and consuming that food, which it did many  
hundreds of times on Saturday, beginning as early as 8:20 a.m. that  
morning with ambient air temperature running in the 50 F. range, and  
this week seeing a return of generally mild weather for the date. This  
individual is not, thus far, merely surviving on the detritus or on  
hand-outs from humans despite its having learned to take some foods  
left or offered by us (us being humans, not referring more  
specifically to birders in this instance).   Obviously should the bird  
stay on the insect life available naturally will diminish, and may do  
so drastically in due course. An interesting aside here might be to  
ask how often is it that Prothonotary Warblers see snow - do some  
arrive in parts of their typical / known breeding and migratory ranges  
to experience spring snows? The species is found in far northern areas  
(compared with N.Y. City) including a good part of NY state and  
immediately west in the breeding season. I'm not aware of the records  
and how they stand in terms of likelihood for snowfall but would think  
that like many migrants, these may come into the U.S. early enough to  
experience snowfalls at times. It also could be argued (perhaps  
endlessly) that some of the migrants survive and some do not. I'm  
simply adding my 2 cents, I suppose in suggesting that this individual  
and others of its' species, as well as a great many tropical-wintering  
species of birds including many familiar to us in the northeast, do  
see harsh weather and at least some survive through bouts of difficult  
weather. It's clearly another thing to make it through a winter in the  
northeast, even in a relatively sheltered place such as mid-town  
Manhattan. If the bird really loves the area that much it might get  
itself to the atrium where so many birds have over-wintered indoors at  
57th & Madison, less than 1 mile north in Manhattan. It won't, and it  
may be that if it hasn't the urge, instinct, ability, whatever it  
takes, to fly out to warmer climes soon, it won't be too likely a  
survivor here.  It will of course not affect the species' status as  
this is still a common bird in the parts of the world where it has  
long been. (I'd privately predicted the entire discussion that has  
ensued recently on this list as to feeding & survival etc. - now all I  
would ask is that no one see fit to give this bird a human name. It is  
emphatically not anyone's pet even if it were to feed out of a human  
hand... it is a wild creature and is in a very small place of refuge  
(for now) from the dramatically nearby bustle of the center of a  
metropolis.  We did not bring it to this place; perhaps we should not  
be trying to bring it away.  Besides, it is now experiencing a life  
that very very few Prothonotary Warblers likely even "dream" of. Were  
this a Bachman's Warbler, the discussion might already be over as to  
what to do about it.  Indeed it would be interesting to see what would  
ensue were it a Kirtland's Warbler as that bird is under federal  
protective laws. This one is too, actually, but not to the same extent  
and rightfully so. Anyone interfering with this bird is however in  
some small way potentially changing the manner of it's ongoing visit  
to this place.  In my opinion it would be wrong to take this bird away  
and try to release anywhere, including into a tropical place for the  
coming winter. If there is someone who can read the mind of this bird  
it is probably beyond the scope of this list... I again note that for  
now, with mild weather, the bird is feeding on miniscule insect- 
invertebrate life in its present location, and I believe it is  
possible that it is (for now) obtaining sufficient energy for survival  
(for now) with that food intake.  As for the crumbs and hand-outs,  
sure - if a friend offers me a piece of candy I more often than not  
accept.  At Fifth Avenue & 41 Street there are a lot of NYC delicacies  
possible, although the typical "offerings" appear to be mostly  
mundane.  A nice

Suet is a good idea, but also, meal worms are what the rehabbers give 
the warblers, and they like them.


They can usually be purchased at pet stores as pet food.

Re: [nysbirds-l] Prothonotary Warbler-my experience

[Mardi Dickinson]

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 up in there tiny stomach and is 
not goo for them at all! Leave the bird along!!

Cheers,

RE: [nysbirds-l] Prothonotary Warbler-my experience

[david speiser]

To clarify, I don't think the bird should be rehabbed.
The whole discussion is rather foolish
to begin with.
The bird will continue to be fed by hundreds of people and will either continue 
to live or will die from
one of many possible dangers.

Re: [nysbirds-l] Prothonotary Warbler-my experience

[Ardith Bondi]

Both times I viewed and then photographed the bird, the only ones 
feeding it were neither birders nor bird - photographers.


This bird seems to be managing fine in his unexpected habitat, and who's 
to say that human intervention in his case wouldn't do more harm than 
good. Just trying to capture it could injure it. The licensed rehabbers 
just make sure a bird can fend for itself and release it in a park.


Just like some bleeding heart human who decided the turkey that was 
doing fine in Central Park was cold and needed to be captured, why do we 
always think that human intervention is by definition better. The only 
thing I would worry about is if some hawk gets him, and that could 
happen anywhere.


If the bird isn't happy where it is, presumably it will fly off.  What 
would be interesting is to see what finally motivates it to go, if at 
all (cold weather, leaves dropping from the trees?). The Scott's Oriole 
got fed by humans all winter in and around Union Square Park and didn't 
leave until April. If this bird becomes injured, that will be a 
different story, and by all means, it should be held and fed the usual 
meal worms until it's better.


Now, if you want to drive it to a swamp somewhere in the south, maybe 
around April sometime, and perhaps introduce it to another PRWA - maybe 
do a little matchmaking while you're at it, that might be doing it a favor.

Re: [nysbirds-l] Prothonotary Warbler-my experience

[Tom Kerr]

If the birders and phorographers stop feeding the bird, it will continue to
pick up the scraps of food left by everyone else.

That being said, I think it would be much worse and completely irresponsible
to interfere with this bird by actually catching it and trying to
"rehabilitate" it.  Correct me if I'm wrong, but nobody picked up a dead
Scott's Oriole in Union Square Park.  Leave this warbler alone, and enjoy it
for what it is.  It does not need to be fixed.

Re: [nysbirds-l] Prothonotary Warbler-my experience

[Arie Gilbert]

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.


could anyone with much more knowledge on the topic,  comment on the 
relative unusualness of a warbler doing so?

RE: [nysbirds-l] Prothonotary Warbler-my experience

[david speiser]

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 feeds the PRWA that's a different matter. 
Ultimately, the long term prognosis for this bird probably is not good unless a 
rehabber picks it up, feeds it properly and releases it away from one of the 
busiest spots in NYC.

[nysbirds-l] Prothonotary Warbler-my experience

[drilbu]

I just returned from viewing the Warbler at the NYPL. 
I was very annoyed to witness a photographer feeding the bird pieces of bread 
to 
tease it out from behind the bushes.  When I confronted the photographer, he 
said to me, everyone is doing it.

Whether everyone was doing it or not, it is wrong and in no way justifies his 
action. 

I think as people who love and respect wildlife we should speak out when we 
see endangering migratory 

birds by feeding them.

Re: [nysbirds-l] Prothonotary Warbler yes

[Joe T]

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 
recently in front of the NY Public Library on 5th Avenue in Manhattan.  Hope 
this clears things up.

The Prothonotary Warbler was seen very easily this afternoon by many observers 
between the hours of Noon and 1pm.  It really does stick out like a sore thumb.

[nysbirds-l] Prothonotary Warbler, 10/24 mid-town Manhattan

[Tom Fiore]

The Prothonotary Warbler continued to be seen by many observers &  
photographers in Manhattan, N.Y. City, along the front of the N.Y.  
Public Library's plantings facing Fifth Avenue & between 40 Street and  
up towards 42 Street, by mainly closer to the south rather than north  
(or more to the 40 Street side of the main entrance steps than the 42  
Street side).  The bird was observed (by others), throughout much of  
Sunday.

[nysbirds-l] Prothonotary Warbler Continues

[Hugh McGuinness]

I haven't seen any posts on this bird today. The PROTHONOTARY WARBLER was
still present along 5th Avenue (in Manhattan) in front of the New York
Public Library at 42nd Street. When I was there at around 5pm tonight it was
along the raised promenade to the right (uptown side) of the lions. It was
feeding on various smashed vegetables that had been left for it (perhaps
someone could bring some mealworms or Indian Meal Moth larvae). I was
traveling without binoculars being in NYC with my family for the weekend,
but didn't need them as the bird allowed very close approach.

[nysbirds-l] Prothonotary Warbler, mid-town Manhattan NYC 10/23, + elsewhere reports

[Tom Fiore]

Saturday, 23 October, 2010 - PROTHONOTARY still there in mid-town  
Manhattan (N.Y. City)!

The male Prothonotary Warbler continues in mid-town Manhattan (New  
York City) at the front of the New York Public Library (main building)  
in trees, flower & shrub plantings, and on stone steps and even on  
chairs & tables set out for visitors in front of the building.  The  
very brightly-colored warbler is feeding well, not only getting some  
crumbs and tid-bits left by some of us (mainly non-birder visitors)  
but also feeding from the ground & in the trees, especially in the  
numerous small locust trees, and may at times be going to where 3  
(counted & seen all at once in the area, this a.m.) Yellow-bellied  
Sapsuckers have been working in the locust trees.

The Prothonotary was seen at least as early as 7:43 a.m. by one  
intrepid birder from Brooklyn who had arrived as early as 7 a.m. (when  
still not all that light at that location) and patiently waited for  
the watbler to make it's presence known.  After 8:20 a.m. the warbler  
seemed to become more active, and it moved thru the area between very  
near the corner of Fifth Avenue & 40 Street, & (mainly) in the hedges  
& next to flowers at the front (near the sidewalk) of the south half  
to about 41 Street, and also at least for some minutes in the trees  
and also down to the stone of the building entry facade areas, just  
north of the "north" lion, that is slightly closer to 42 Street than  
to 41 Street.  As of 9:30 a.m. some birders were still following the  
warbler about when I left.  There were at least 8 birders as well as a  
few non-birders there observing in the first 2 hours this morning.   
The warbler may appear in extremely close view at times and more than  
once I was a bit surprised to find it within less than 2 feet (under 1  
meter) from my feet.  It also was seen a number of times going behind  
the high solid wood fence where some work is ongoing at the very edge  
of the library building itself.

Based on speaking with a security person, a clean-up person, and a  
character who called himself "Russell" who feeds the pigeons & house  
sparrows there regularly, this warbler has been present in that place  
for between 3-4 weeks or possibly longer. This can be accepted as  
likely since the bird is so different in color from all others that  
are frewquenting (or likely have been) that specific area adjacent to  
Fifth Avenue itself.  Even some other species which have been seen in  
the past several weeks in the area of (the rest of) Bryant Park, more  
to the west of the library building, towards Sixth (aka "Avenue of the  
Americas") are not quite so colorful, or most likely with the degree  
of "chutzpah" that this  New York visitor and (for now) resident of  
mid-town, has been showing off.  The warbler gives an impression of  
almost "knowing" what it is doing, while also being at almost total  
odds with the way it's species behaves naturally.  I am one of many  
who now have photos (mine taken with a point-&-shoot, many others have  
used cell-phone cameras) of a Prothonotary Warbler taken from under 8  
feet (and even, when the bird came closer to me, from 18 inches!) &  
with all the signature background of the center of urban life of the  
modern era. Quite the amazing juxtaposition, drawing for many of us  
some memories of the not-so-long-ago Scott's Oriole which frequented  
Manhattan's Union Square Park a few winter's ago, if anything this  
current (tropical-wintering) warbler even more in the thick of the big  
city.

Thanks to Ben Cacace for a fascinating account of the evening  
observation as the bird went to roost, and to all who have posted and  
commented & offered photos & videos on the various birding lists and  
photo sites, etc. Great fun and there are some beautiful photos of  
this, in a variety of ways.

Good luck - a bit of patience will likely result in great views, so  
long as one has a bit of time to spare there.

-  -  -
some recent "rarity" sightings in the northeastern region, of possible  
interest to all New York birders...
...
A "first-of-season" Cave Swallow was reported at the Cape May, New  
Jersey hawk-watch as of 22 Oct.
...
A "martin species" was noted in Massachusetts as recently as 20 Oct.  
and may not have been a Purple Martin, indeed as observers of the bird  
noted it would as likely be a more southerly-breeding species than  
Purple at this late date for the northeast.  Other martin species  
(besides Purple) have been documented in the northeast.  Also being  
seen in recent days in a number of locations have been swifts and  
various "non-Tree" swallows. Any swift and any swallow other than Tree  
become intriguing when we get into November, as do any hummingbird  
species and any nighthawk or nightjar sightings. For each of these  
kinds of birds a strong possibility exists for any of them found in  
November through at least the winter months in the northeast, or even

David et all,

What a perfect place for a stunning Prothonotary Warbler to visit. Get
a higher education by sharpening up its skills in the ornithology section of 
the NYC Public Library! Marvolous!

[nysbirds-l] Prothonotary Warbler NYC Public Library still continues

[david speiser]

 
The Prothonotary Warbler at the NYC Public Library continued to be seen though 
at least 415 this afternoon. This is an unbelievably cooperative bird. Unfazed 
by New Yorkers who came within a couple of feet of it ,taking pictures with 
their camera phones.
The bird at least, while Harry Maas and I were watching it, preferred the small 
grassy patch by 40th and 5th ave. The bird took flight a few times and landed 
on the famous lions, on tables and chairs and within inches of 
people who were oblivious to its presence. 
The left wing appeared to droop so this should be watched.

[nysbirds-l] Prothonotary Warbler, midtown Manhattan NYC 10/21

[Tom Fiore]

Thursday, 21 October, 2010

A brightly-plumaged PROTHONOTARY Warbler has been discovered as of mid- 
day today next to the front facade and plantings of the main branch of  
the New York Public Library, at 41 Street and Fifth Avenue in mid-town  
Manhattan, New York City.  The warbler, seemingly rather unfazed (to  
some extent) by all the city bustle everywhere around it, has been  
seen especially just to the left (if facing the library with one's  
back to Fifth Avenue) of the large & well-known statues of the library  
lions - in the shrubberies & flowers, as well as coming out on bare  
earth & even several times or more onto the stone with various birders  
and many other city-goers all around, above and amongst other birds  
including more than a few White-thraoted Sparrows as well as more  
typical city dwellers as feral introduced Rock Pigeons & House  
Sparrows. The Prothonotary was seen by well over a dozen birders as of  
3 p.m. and more folks were continuing to arrive to look for it in that  
area.  It does not appear to be an adult male as I had first thought  
on an initial look, and it would be interesting to be able to look at  
any photos rtaken to try & judge whether it might have any apparent  
visible injuries. By behavior it is feeding well but it's open to  
question whether bagels & scones & scraps of sandwiches are a good  
diet for a wood-warbler normally attracted to wooded swampy  
habitats...  This bird was at least briefly said to have gone to or  
towards the 42 Street side of Fifth Ave. by the library building's  
plantings, but has been mainly south of the front main entrance as of  
3 p.m. and before, since it was first found in mid-day. It initially  
was also seen very close to 40 Street & Fifth Avenue.  This is all  
easy enough to walk & it would be best to coordinate effort with any  
other birders present. The bird has been habitually appearing just  
left of the main steps in what seems to be a slightly quieter "corner"  
of the shrub & flower plantings, where there is a bit more visibility  
for observation.


A great find - the young man who discovered this is an employee of the  
New York Public Library there, and has seen many other species in the  
surrounding Bryant Park although this species is definitely a first  
for that list!


If the bird continues to be seen through the day & especially if seen  
early on Friday, reports should be posted so that others might have an  
opportunity to view the unusual mid-town (as well as late-season)  
urban visitor.


Good luck,

Tom Fiore,
Manhattan

[nysbirds-l] Prothonotary Warbler continues-Northport (Suffolk Co.)

[Brent Bomkamp]

The *Prothonotary Warbler* reported by Norm Klein yesterday continued a
Fuch's Pond in Northport today (4/16) at 4:30, when it was present along the
southerly shore of the smaller pond northeast of the main one.  Also of
interest was a *Wilson's Snipe *in the stream on the left side of Seaside
Ct. just before the golf course.
