Nice find, Art Hudak, on the Prothonotary Warbler.
This is perhaps a cherry on top of the November warbler parade in Colorado,
which by my count now totals at least 13 species (Tennesee, Orange-crowned,
Northern Parula, Yellow-rumped, Black-throated Green, Pine, Palm, Bay-breasted,
Blackpoll, Prothonotary, Ovenbird, Common Yellowthroat, and Wilson's).
Intrigued by Steve and Cheryl's reports of "hawthorn", chokecherry (its fruits
should be long gone or dried up by this date but it could have lingering
aphids), or some other woody berry plant being involved in the diet of this
Prothonotary, I check the BNA account. There is one winter diet study in
Panama that listed fruit as making up 10% of the diet. I would really
appreciate confirmation this bird is, indeed, eating fruit and what kind of
fruit it is. Thanks.
