| | Audubon WatchList - Prothonotary Warbler |
 | | Prothonotary Warblers can be found nesting across much of the eastern United States, ranging from Florida and eastern Texas north to Wisconsin, western New York, and northern New Jersey. |
 | | Prothonotary Warblers eat mostly insects and snails during the breeding season; the bulk of the food taken includes caterpillars, flies, midges, spiders, and mayflies. |
 | | Destruction of mangroves on Prothonotary Warblers' wintering grounds is probably the greatest threat to these birds; coastal development, highway construction, agriculture, and aquaculture have eliminated 50 to 70% of the original mangroves in Colombia and Ecuador. |
