Prothonotary Warbler
Protonotaria citrea
The Prothonotary Warbler (Protonotaria citrea) breeds across much of the eastern United States usually in marshy or swamp-like habitats.
Prothonotary Warblers pick insects, spiders, and small snails from the surfaces of tree trunks, fallen logs, and the ground. Males tend to search for food higher in the canopy, but both sexes explore tangles and the water's edge.
