Prospect Prothonotary

A day of rest for weary me after a grueling three day birding BBC weekend in New Jersey but not for those birding today here in Prospect. PROTHONOTARY WARBLER continues to be a mainstay as spread out birds on this quiet day offer sparse May findings.

A first report of the PROTHONOTARY came from Stanley Greenberg finding the bird under the Terrace Bridge. A short time later, Karen O Hearn found it in overhanging limbs on the Peninsula between the Pink Beach and the tip rustic Shelter. 

Other birds of interest also was given me. Eni and Vinnie found BAY BREASTED WARBLER above the Ravine Creek  and WHITE EYED VIREO in the Vale Cashmere. Linda Ewing says Excellent variety and abundance at Prospect Park this morning. Cape May Warbler low in the Vale,From David Olesky Blackburnian, Nashville and Magnolia at very top of lookout hill;

Over in Greenwood Cemetery , Paige reported a singing HOODED WARBLER on Cypress ave.
