CANADA WARBLER

(Wilsonia canadensis)

One of the most easily recognized warblers in this part of Canada is the appropriately named Canada Warbler, or the "necklaced" warbler, named for its necklace of short black stripes.   The Canada Warbler was first discovered in Canada, where most of the breeding (80%) occurs.   It is designated by COSEWIC however as a "Species at risk" and its population has declined by 71% over the last 40 years.  It is one of the last warblers to arrive in the spring migration and one of first to head south in the fall.  While not easily found, it is readily identified when spotted.
