Banded Prothonotary Warbler

These Warblers migrate to the southern US each year and build nests in the swamps and flooded woods. For me this is a very hard bird to capture. They are shy and it takes patience to wait for them to move close and to an open spot.

I turned my head, took the shot, he flew away. Patience with little birds is not something I do well.

This bird has been banded multiple times.
