Protonotaria citrea
Small yellow bellied bird, medium brown and black back, wings, and tail, small white spots on tail.
Found on sidewalk at local McDonalds garden (same location that the cicada from my other spotting was found). Included are photos of surrounding area.
I wanted to check to see if it was okay, because it was not moving when I tried to get close for a photo. After a few photos, I lightly stroked it's head and back, and after a moment of patting it opened its eyes to look at me. It finally flew away after I gently cupped my fingers around it to lift it and check to see if it was injured. It landed some time between when I arrived to sit on the garden box, and when I saw it before I left without a "thud" into the glass, so I know it didn't fly into the window thank goodness. I hope it was just napping, even if that was an unusual napping place.
