Akmost time for my favourite warbler...

Canada Warbler (Wilsonia canadensis)

It's almost the end of March and time for the Canada Warbler to show up here in southern Ontario.   I love its black and yellow appearance, especially the necklace of sharp black stripes, and particularly its song: a fast musical jumble of notes.   It will be returning from South America and some will even stop and nest in Georgia.   The black necklace is most obvious on adult males, but its bold eye-ring is also distinctive.   For me, it is a true spring harbinger.

Please comment if you wish.
