On North Memorial Dr. (inside Mohawk Park), along a small stream, I sat and watched a lone Prothonotary Warbler look for food at the stream's edge. The warbler would bound about over debris and branches looking for a meal. I was thrilled that the yellow sprite would stay in the same area for so long; I must have watched for 10 minutes or more.
