Prothonotary Warbler!!!

Jackpot! There have been reports from Prospect Park and Forest Park of appearances by that much desired early warbler, the Prothonary, but not Central Park. Today's the day. It appears in Jack Meyer's daily report along with other early migrants, as well as with the not-to-be-scorned bird Regulars.
