prothonotary warbler at Effigy Mounds National Monument IA 116A5306

A visit to Effigy Mounds National Monument is always a rewarding experience. Prehistoric people built many remarkable mounds here over a thousand years ago and some of them are in the shape of bears or birds. Speaking of birds, you can find some awesome live birds here at this time of year too. Prothonotary warblers nest in tree cavities beside backwater habitats of the Mississippi River.
