While working at my kitchen sink, I had the most amazing visitor - a  male
Prothonotary Warbler!

He visited the feeders suspended just inches from the window, clinging  to
the wires they were hung from.  Needless to say, that close  and in the
sunlight he was stunning as he fluttered from feeder to feeder and to  the
nearby tree branches.  I had always thought goldfinches were  attractive, but
seeing him perched above a goldfinch he put them to shame.

I live on the west side of Sandusky near Medusa Marsh.  I had not been
aware of hearing his song, but I certainly will keep my ears tuned for him from
 now on.
