Prothonotary Warbler: 1st for Western Pal?

Wow! Belated news from June/July 2010 of a bird photographed on board a ship off Iceland - apparently just within the WP boundary. Check out the photos/details etc here. Prothonotary Warblers are one of my favourites, I'm used to seeing them in mangrove swamps in Costa Rica, but think I'd go take a look at one over here if I had the chance!!!
