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.)
