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.
