I saw a Prothonotary Warbler on Pike Island in Fort Snelling State Park this morning around 9:30 a.m. It was about a third of the way along the path that runs along the Mendota Bridge side of the island (between the bridge to Pike Island and the first turnoff leading back to that bridge) on a tree between the path and the water. The habitat between the island and the Mendota bridge is quite waterlogged, ideal for this species. I first heard it call, looked for it and found it; I was able to observe it fairly close up through binoculars for several minutes as it moved from branch to branch before it flew into the woods. It was a male; I noted the bright yellow head and breast (no streaks), dark eye and black bill, white vent and undertail coverts, grey wings. The call was a loud, four note wrink-wrink-wrink-wrink.
