The Prothonotary Warbler is definitely eating the fruit.

The bird is still present as of this a.m. It is located in the south west 
end of the cottonwood tree line. We saw it from both looking east into the 
Cottonwoods and on the shoreline darting in and out of the willows.

Hi all,

My tentative guess is the fruit is European buckthorn.  Dave Leatherman, would 
you confirm or refute?  If it is, do you see a lot of this in Colorado?  It’s 
unfortunately fairly common where I live.  Definitely an invasive exotic, but 
birds like the berries and contribute to its spread as a result.

RE: [cobirds] Re: Prothonotary Warbler

[DAVID A LEATHERMAN]

Rob, et al,
Yes, European Buckthorn.  I agree that is what all the pics people have been 
sending seem to show the bird is eating.  Yes, it is widely planted, and yes, 
it escapes, gets spread, definitely deserves the moniker of "invasive exotic".  
Thanks to all who have sent me photos.  Interesting situation.  Birds do what 
they have to do.  Insects are probably what these neotropical migrants want as 
a first choice, but in a pinch the Ovenbird in Bill's yard and this 
Prothonotary clearly prove they can handle millet and fruit, respectively, and 
probably a lot of other things if they get desperate enough.

I just got a look at a Prothonotary Warbler in Lee Martinez Park. Just north of 
the Poudre river trail. Northwest of the Museum of Discovery. Just west of the 
trail bridge that is just west of the junction with another trail running on 
the west side of the museum. The bird is on the first pond west of this bridge.

We actually banded that Cassin's Vireo after you left, Bill. Also banded 
was a handsome male Red-shafted Flicker, one of two flickers seen today. 
Orange-crowned Warblers are also starting to arrive in good numbers as well

Re: [cobirds] Re: Prothonotary Warbler Fort Collins

[Joe Roller]

According to e Bird data, the previous early record for a Golden Swamp
Warbler* was April 16, 2011.
Interestingly 4 birders saw it then in Holly and another person reported a
Prothonotary Warbler on that same date,
April 16, 2011 from Campo.

I suspect that the observations were of one individual bird in Holly, seen
by outof-state "chicken tickers," that and the Campo dude was sleep
deprived and
entered the wrong location, forgetting that he had left Campo early that
morning.

This warbler is a bird from my childhood on the Mississippi sloughs. It's
name is derived, just like our Cardinal, from the color of the vestments
worn
by a Catholic official, the First Notary, or Prothro-Notary, who wore a
golden hood.

Thank you Joe Roller for posting more than I really wanted to know. It's 
hard to know what I want to know until I know it... (And I may actually 
retain this little nugget even if I never see one.)

Hi all

Scientist here told me the story of the "Prothonotary" name-which I did not 
know.

   - The name "Prothonotary" refers to clerks in the Roman Catholic church, 
   whose robes were bright yellow. 

Thought interesting enough to share.

What area did you see it in?  I stopped by a couple of days ago and could 
not find it.

Re: [cobirds] Re: Prothonotary Warbler, Centennial Park, Arapahoe County, 12/2/13, 3:45-4:45PM

[Charles Hundertmark]

The Prothonotary is hanging out in the wooded strip along the north side of
the lake. Walking on the loop trail, as you enter the most heavily wooded
area, watch the vegetation on the north side of the path. At a bend in the
trail, there are two or three shrub trees loaded with berries. Just past
these shrubs, a path leads down into the thicket near the shrubs. There are
several other berry laden shrubs there. I waited there for about 10
minutes, and the warbler showed up in front of me. It then went to one of
the shrubs and began eating berries. I was able to approach slowly for some
very nice photos.
