Prothonotary Warbler - Protonotaria citrea

Prothonotary Warbler - Protonotaria citrea

One individual is seen at sea halfway between Falkland Island and South Georgia Island.


April 11, 2022

The Weather was calm and foggy. Bird was heard vocalising whilst flying around sailboat. Its size, vocalisations and colour quickly distinguished it from the usual birds in the area. After circling the boat for a few minutes after it was first seen, it landed on the rail, the deck and in other locations several times. It appeared very wary and would fly off again as soon as I came on deck. It appeared to pick at the deck searching for food. The weather was very damp and the bird would often spread its wings as if to attempt to dry itself. After about 2 hours of frequent landings on the boat, it disappeared.
