Canada Warbler

Cardellina canadensis (Linnaeus, 1766)

Canada Warbler, Cardellina canadensis, is a New World warbler that breeds across Canada and the north-eastern and north-central United States, and spends the non-breeding season from Panama to northern South America. It is a small songbird of moist thickets, especially in riparian growth, forest bogs and other wooded wet places. It is often known as the necklaced warbler because of the dark streaking across the chest. Adults show yellow underparts, a dark grey back, white eye-rings and no wingbars or tail spots.
