Prothonotary Warbler: Magee Marsh Boardwalk, Oak Harbor, Ohio, USA, May 2025 — I had barely stepped out on to the boardwalk on my first day at the Biggest Week in American Birding (after my first Point’nShoot for Warblers workshop) when this Prothonotary Warbler came hopping through the low bushes and landed on the edge of boardwalk right at the feet of a dozen birders (and photographers), in the shade of the bottom rail. Prothonotaries are one of those birds that are just supremely confident of their place in the world. They are willing to share it with us, but it is very much their world. I find it refreshing to be put in my place once in a while. Sony a6700. Tamron 50-400 at 600mm equivalent and about as close as the lens will focus.
