Wonderful image Brian, where do these birds live? #2739791

Brian D. Shema May 08, 2006

Thanks Jim! Prothonotary's breed from the Mississippi Valley east, from Florida north to New York or so. Typically found breeding in swamps or deep wooded valleys with swampy flood plains at their bases. They nest in abandoned woodpecker holes or man-made cavities. This bird was photoed in S.W. Pennsylvania during migration, where they are relatively rare. They become more common as you move south toward Arkansas/Florida.
I appreciate your feedback Jim. #2739858

Great photo. I have been watching some this past week, and know how hard it can be to get a shot of these fast moving birds! #2740927

Thanks S... as far as Prothonotary's go, this was a "well mannered" bird. Relatively easy to photograph. #2743870

Very beautiful Brian! I bet this shot will look gorgeous in print. Have you ever done the metallic prints through MPIX.COM? #2768816

Great shot, Brian. I really like the way you composed the shot, especially the way the branches at the top frame the image. Beautiful detail. #2878178
