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.
A couple of pictures can viewed at the following link:
