Prothonotary Warbler
Wikipedia: The prothonotary warbler (Protonotaria citrea) is a small songbird of the New World warbler family. It is named for its plumage, which resembles the yellow robes once worn by papal clerks (named prothonotaries) in the Roman Catholic Church. The prothonotary warbler is the only member of the genus Protonotaria and the only eastern warbler that nests in natural or artificial cavities.
The prothonotary warbler mostly breeds in hardwood swamps in extreme southeastern Ontario and the eastern United States. The warblers winter in the West Indies, Central America and northern South America, primarily in mangrove swamps. It is a rare vagrant to parts of the western United States, most notably California.
Conservation status: Least Concern
