Protonotaria citrea. Prothonotary Warbler. I had barely re- 

 covered from the thrill of my first Egret when I saw one of these gems on

 that it was the most beautiful bird I have ever seen. Six in all were noted, 

 in swampy sections.

 birds and probably also C. a. usneae were common wherever there was 

 "Spanish Moss." I saw about 50.

 14; two, Southport, April 17; eight, Orton, April 18; ten, Wilmington,
