May 2005: Prothonotary Warbler

Roger Leblanc left a message for me about a PROTHONOTARY WARBLER [Paruline orangée] which has been seen and photographed at Grand Manan. Alain Clavette provided details on it to Alma White for the Moncton Naturalists' Club Rare Bird Alert, namely that it's at the sewage lagoon of the Anchorage Provincial Park. That's south of Grand Harbour, turning off Route 776 on the road to the Anchorage Park and bearing left towards Long Pond rather than right into the campground. The sewage lagoon is mostly hidden among small trees and bushes on the left perhaps 200 yards before the beach.
