Prothonotary Warbler
[Protonotaria citrea]
[Length 5.5 in. Wingspan 8.75 in.]
Prothonotary Warblers breed throughout the eastern US in woodlands near streams or surrounded by water.
They nest in tree cavities, unlike any other eastern Warbler.
Their loud, ringing song, a series of "SWEET SWEET SWEET" notes, is a common sound in wet woodlands and makes them easy to identify.
This Prothonotary Warbler was photographed at the Willows, Anahuac NWR, Texas, USA.
Photo taken with a Nikkor 300mm EDAF-S f4 lens (EFL=450mm) on a Nikon D100 camera.
