Linda,

Nelda and I have already been in contact on it.  While prothontaries have been 
known to take some fruit and seeds outside of the breeding season, I've never 
heard of one visiting a feeder.  A remarkable occurence.  I've asked Nelda to 
let me know if she's lucky enough to get another one!

Bob

  This morning when I looked closer to check a "yellow bird" near the feeders, 
I found a prothonotary warbler trying to get on the black oil seed feeder.  The 
mamma house finches feeding their newest babies kicked the "intruder" off, and 
after several more unsuccessful tries, it settled on the mixed seed open 
feeder.  Then I noticed the band on its leg.  We're not too far from the 
prothonotary housing project, but rarely see this warbler near the house.  Fun!
