Prothonotary Warbler

April 25, 2016

From Great River and Clarence Cannon National Wildlife Refuges:




It's that time of the year when we see warblers, such as this prothonotary warbler. They are a brilliant yellow-orange color and the name "Prothonotary" refers to clerks in the Roman Catholic church, whose robes were bright yellow.
