3 Photographs are from Vireo* and Cornell Photographers: Betty Cottrille Bill Dyre D. & M. Zimmerman* D. & E. Phillips Donald Waite Doug Wechsler* E. Endrigo* Herbert Clark Isidor Jaklin J. Hoffman Jack Murray Jim Wedge Johann Schumacher John Heidecker John Dunning L. Page Brown Lang Elliott Linda Drake Mike Hopiak R. & N. Bowers* William Paff Wilson Bloomer Smithsonian Inst.

4 Migration The American Redstart (see left) migrates across the Gulf of Mexico. Many warblers do just that. They migrate for very good reasons. Some of them might surprise you.

5 The Genus Protonotaria The one species in the genus Protonotaria is a regular migrant and breeder on the Upper Texas Coast. Prothonotary Warbler This one Protonotaria genus member is noted for its bright color, a large bill, a short tail and the unusual habit (for a warbler) of nesting in a cavity.

9 About Vermivora Warblers Small with sharply pointed bills. Lack strong contrasting patterns. Most utilize nectar in non-breeding seasons. Most nest on or near the ground. They forage in dead leaf clusters.
