Audubon's Yellow Prothonotary Warbler Bird Pair Classic Round Sticker

This stunning reproduction of John James Audubon’s Plate 3 from Birds of America captures the vibrant beauty of the Prothonotary Warbler, a bright yellow songbird pair perched delicately on a lush vine. Audubon’s detailed depiction brings to life these migratory birds, which breed in the eastern United States and journey to Central America during colder months. Known for their preference for Louisiana’s lakes, creeks, and lagoons, these “pretty birds,” as Audubon called them, are often found flitting over waterways, catching the eye with their brilliant colour as they search for insects. Which may be how they got the nickname “Golden swamp warbler.” Audubon noted their graceful movements: “On alighting, it moves rapidly along the twigs… extending its neck to look under the leaves, from which it picks various kinds of insects.” He observed the Prothonotary Warbler’s habit of balancing on thick grasses and water plants in pursuit of small mollusks and snails—a rare behaviour for birds of this genus. Though their song may be simple, the Prothonotary Warblers’ lively presence is a visual delight, as captured in this detailed artwork. Ideal for nature lovers, bird watchers, and art collectors, this vintage print celebrates the vibrant colours and natural elegance of a species that has enchanted bird enthusiasts for centuries. Perfect for adding a touch of natural beauty to any decor, this piece is an homage to Audubon’s dedication to capturing America’s diverse wildlife.
