Black-winged Bishop?
Title: Re: OK, guess this bird
Post by: nycbird on 20-Oct-10, 10:32:55 AM
African Orange weaver finch.....sometimes called the Red Bishop and sometimes called the Orange Bishop. It is a finch and I had one who honored my aviary from Feb 4th 1987 until Jan 18, 2010. He was unbelieveable.... would change from his breeding orange & black to a drab brown and compared to a tiny sparrow in off season. He lived 4 times the average age of his breed in captivity. After 23 years, I miss him very much.
PS...their wings never change color.... only the velvety black and the bright orange/reddish areas. The more ''color food'' they are fed,... the more red they become.

YES NYC, it is most definitely an Orange Bishop Weaver...and they are from mainly Africa but this one was spotted in Illinois. How he got there, no one knows. He may have been a pet that escaped. They are worried about him because of the territory and what may happen to him. Gorgeous bird indeed.

Cool Facts
* The Prothonotary Warbler is one of only two warbler species that nest in cavities. (Lucy's Warbler is the other.)
* Go here to take a look at what goes on inside a Prothonotary Warbler nest, through the help of a Nest Box Cam provided by The Birdhouse Network at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology.
* The name "Prothonotary" refers to clerks in the Roman Catholic church, whose robes were bright yellow.

And from Wikipedia...
The word prothonotary is recorded in English since 1447, as "principal clerk of a court," from L.L. prothonotarius (c.400), from Greek protonotarios "first scribe," originally the chief of the college of recorders of the court of the Byzantine Empire, from Greek πρῶτος protos "first" + Latin notarius ("notary"); the -h- appeared in Medieval Latin. The title was awarded to certain high-ranking notaries.

Saturday, 23 October, 2010 - PROTHONOTARY still there in mid-town Manhattan (N.Y. City)!
The male Prothonotary Warbler continues in mid-town Manhattan (New York City) at the front of the New York Public Library (main building) in trees, flower & shrub plantings, and on stone steps and even on chairs & tables set out for visitors in front of the building. The very brightly-colored warbler is feeding well, not only getting some crumbs and tid-bits left by some of us (mainly non-birder visitors) but also feeding from the ground & in the trees, especially in the numerous small locust trees, and may at times be going to where 3 (counted & seen all at once in the area, this a.m.) Yellow-bellied Sapsuckers have been working in the locust trees.
The Prothonotary was seen at least as early as 7:43 a.m. by one intrepid birder from Brooklyn who had arrived as early as 7 a.m. (when still not all that light at that location) and patiently waited for the watbler to make it's presence known. After 8:20 a.m. the warbler seemed to become more active, and it moved thru the area between very near the corner of Fifth Avenue & 40 Street, & (mainly) in the hedges & next to flowers at the front (near the sidewalk) of the south half to about 41 Street, and also at least for some minutes in the trees and also down to the stone of the building entry facade areas, just north of the "north" lion, that is slightly closer to 42 Street than to 41 Street. As of 9:30 a.m. some birders were still following the warbler about when I left. There were at least 8 birders as well as a few non-birders there observing in the first 2 hours this morning. The warbler may appear in extremely close view at times and more than once I was a bit surprised to find it within less than 2 feet (under 1 meter) from my feet. It also was seen a number of times going behind the high solid wood fence where some work is ongoing at the very edge of the library building itself.
Based on speaking with a security person, a clean-up person, and a character who called himself "Russell" who feeds the pigeons & house sparrows there regularly, this warbler has been present in that place for between 3-4 weeks or possibly longer. This can be accepted as likely since the bird is so different in color from all others that are frewquenting (or likely have been) that specific area adjacent to Fifth Avenue itself. Even some other species which have been seen in the past several weeks in the area of (the rest of) Bryant Park, more to the west of the library building, towards Sixth (aka "Avenue of the Americas") are not quite so colorful, or most likely with the degree of "chutzpah" that this New York visitor and (for now) resident of mid-town, has been showing off. The warbler gives an impression of almost "knowing" what it is doing, while also being at almost total odds with the way it's species behaves naturally. I am one of many who now have photos (mine taken with a point-&-shoot, many others have used cell-phone cameras) of a Prothonotary Warbler taken from under 8 feet (and even, when the bird came closer to me, from 18 inches!) & with all the signature background of the center of urban life of the modern era. Quite the amazing juxtaposition, drawing for many of us some memories of the not-so-long-ago Scott's Oriole which frequented Manhattan's Union Square Park a few winter's ago, if anything this current (tropical-wintering) warbler even more in the thick of the big city.
Thanks to Ben Cacace for a fascinating account of the evening observation as the bird went to roost, and to all who have posted and commented & offered photos & videos on the various birding lists and photo sites, etc. Great fun and there are some beautiful photos of this, in a variety of ways.
