These little warblers get their name from the golden hooded robes the Roman Catholic clerks used to wear.
Prothonotary warblers nest in tight cavities and tend to eat insects such as beetles, moths and butterflies. Since they are Neo-tropical migrants they travel from south and central America to the central and eastern parts on North America.
