Monday, 23 April, 2012 - Bryant Park, mid-town Manhattan, N.Y. City A PROTHONOTARY Warbler has been found and is being seen as of mid-day today at the southeast section of Bryant Park, which is roughly midway from Sixth towards Fifth Ave. on the 40th Street side of the park. The bird has been moving in trees at and near the plantings area, & not far from the larger restaurant, all behind (west of) the NY Public Library's main branch building. Matthew Rymkiewicz spotted and reported the warbler. There are a modest variety of additional migrants in the park today as well. Good luck if going; this is not even a Bryant Park "record" although new for the year there!
