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.
