Prothonotary Warbler

Prothonotary Warbler 2

The Prothonotary Warblers won’t be in our area long so I spent some time around the edges of the swamp looking for them earlier this week. They are fast in flight, like tree tops, and don’t stay in one place for long, making them a challenge to track and to photograph.

This one must have liked the sun or the view because he stayed in this lichen covered branch for several minutes.

In the inner branches is usually where that flash of yellow streaks by.

        Yes, its incredibly bright Ellen. I don’t know if it gets any brighter yellow than that in birds – I mean, its hard to even imagine any yellow that could be said to be brighter!
