A Star at the Public Library: a Little Yellow Bird

Enjoy this little gem in the New York Times this morning:  A Star at the Public Library: a Little Yellow Bird.  Not to give it away; from my photo archive.

Prothonotary Warbler, Margee Marsh, May, 2010

However, as my friend Tim McKay points out, there is no mention of how the Prothonotary Warbler (Protonotaria citrea) got its name - from the golden robes once worn by the protonotari (protonotarii apostolicii), responsible for the papal documents in the Catholic Church; such information so appropriate from a public library.  Must go to Wisconsin Natural Resources for this - well, sort of.
