Description
A prothonotary warbler sits on a branch in Lettuce Lake Park in Tampa, Florida. It was a breezy day and it sat on that branch for about five minutes, which is extremely unusual for a warble. They are usually flitting constantly from one branch to another. The prothonotary warbler (prothonotaria citrea) can be found�in the summer in the hardwood swamps and bottomland forests of extreme southeastern Ontario, Canada the the northeastern United States. During the winter it migrates to the southeastern United States,�around to Mexico, Central America, northern South America and the West Indies.where it can be found in mangrove forests as well as wooded swamps and bottomland forests.
It is one of only two warblers that nests in natural or artificial cavities, sometimes using old downy woodpecker holes for their nest.
Once known as the golden�warbler, it is the third plate in Audubon's series. You will find it feeding close to the ground as it searches for insects, snails, spiders, seeds,fruit or nectar. It is about 5.5" long with a wingspan of about 8.8."

Norman Johnson replied:
Thank you very much Marvin. I hadn't seen one until I started going to Lettuce Lake Park. I wouldn't say that they are common there but there is a good chance that you would see one sometime between January and June.
