Spotted
The Prothonotary Warbler is an exceptionally bright and beautiful warbler, with a brilliant golden-orange head and breast, olive-green back, and gray wings. It stands out in its swampy habitats.
Where to spot
Breeds in the southeastern United States, primarily in riparian forests and swamps. Winters in Central America and northern South America.
How to spot
Search cypress swamps, bottomland forests, and other wetlands with standing water. Look for its bright plumage among the trees; listen for its loud, ringing "sweet-sweet-sweet-sweet" song.
When to spot
Best observed during the breeding season (late spring to summer) in suitable wetland habitats. Spring (April-May) and fall (August-October) migration can also provide sightings.
