I was able to locate the Prothonotary (as posted by Cheryl Edgecombe
earler today) near the parking lot at Bronte Bluffs Park at 5 pm
today. After a half hour search of the park and neighbourhood, it was
feeding in a large Manitoba Maple on the edge of the hill overlooking
the harbour and marina. It stayed in the same place for well over 20
minutes and afforded good views. It did not sing.
It was in the same tree as a B&W and a Yellow Warbler. Having the 2
close to one another was good as I have been "fooled" by Yellow before.
The Prothonotary the moved off in a new direction and was not refound.
Directions: QEW to Bronte Road, Bronte Rd S to Lakeshore, Lakeshore
west, over the bridge to West River Road, south to the parking lot at
Bronte Bluffs Park.
