About

The prothonotary warbler 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 in the Roman Catholic Church.

Fun Fact

Prothonotary Warblers are the only cavity-nesting wood-warblers in the eastern US and readily accept nest boxes, making them critical study species for warbler conservation.
