Magnolia Warbler

Setophaga magnolia (Wilson, A, 1811)

Magnolia Warbler, Setophaga magnolia, is a New World warbler that breeds in North America, from central Canada into south-eastern Canada and the north-central and north-eastern United States. It winters in Massachusetts and the West Indies. It is a member of the Parulidae family. The bird is best recognised by the strong yellow and black streaking on the underparts of breeding males, together with the white wing bars and the black tail marked with white underneath. Females and young birds show the same pattern, but in a much less vivid form.
