Prothonotary warbler @ Centennial Park (12:40-2:15pm)

[Mary Driscoll]

Hello Birders,

Thanks to Art Hudak for finding this beautiful warbler, & to Penny Owens for her post to eBird saying she saw it around 9:00 AM today, I decided to try for it, hoping to get a few photos. I ran into Becky Campbell. Early views were brief, and then the bird would disappear for what seemed like a long time, & after Becky got some decent looks, the wind was really starting to blow, temp. dropping, she decided to leave, and I said I would stay a little longer. I decided I needed to wear my ear band, and while I was busy putting that on, I thought the bird would surely return while I was busy..sure enough, it did, I got several photos, and best views ever of this species!! Hope it survives.

Thanks to all, for the posts, and directions to the site!
