5/18/2011: Prothonotary Song, Wings on Wednesday

As I have mentioned, the Magee Marsh boardwalk on the Ohio shore of Lake Erie is a wonderful place to see Prothonotary Warblers. They are building nests this time of year, and the males are singing lustily. I don’t think there is another bird on the planet that puts more behind its song than the Prothonotary…witness the gape on this one.
