A photo of a bright yellow prothonotary warbler with an open beak singing into into the sky. The bird is perched on a lichen covered, metal bridge railing with a dark blurry background behind it.

The prothonotary warbler stood out in the forest near Effigy Mounds National Monument #Iowa like a Pikachu! ⚡️ (2025)

Just got back from a 2nd walk today, making a total of 4.04 miles! 65F #Iowa #IowaLife #AroundIowa Noticed 2 of the 3 books that I put in the Little Free Library last year are gone. Hoping the subject matter of the one book did not get it destroyed. (No it was not an adult book)
