A Prothonotary Warbler was found early Sunday morning at the Mill Pond in Grant Park. On my way home, after an excellent morning out, I thought I would stop and see if it was still around. I pulled up to the pond, on the north end, and immediately found it along the edge. I sat in the grass and waited for it to work its way towards me. Every time it did though, a Red-winged Blackbird would chase it away. After a few times of this, I lost it. I waited for about 15 minutes and it never came back out. I walked around the pond and down the creek and relocated it back there, enjoying peace and quiet. I stood and watched it feed for at least 30 minutes. I was right across the creek from it and he did not mind me one bit. It’s always nice to be able to see these stunning birds at such a close range! Photos are from the afternoon there. Enjoy!

Thank you! You are welcome Sheridan!
Such a pretty yellow colored bird. I love the “action” shots!
Beautiful! They are hard to get, but definitely rewarding when you can!
