Prothonotary Warbler

This past weekend I went birding with the Hampton Roads Bird club at Newport New Park.  One of the great sightings of the walk was the number of Prothonotary Warblers.  So this week for Tuesday's Tweets and Wild Bird Wednesday, I will share several of my photos of this gorgeous bird. 

Prothonotary Warblers are pretty easy to identify: they are bright yellow in front getting darker towards the back on on the wings.  Plus they are very loud singers and are willing to sit out in the open.  That last characteristic makes them good photo subjects.
