Magnolia Warbler


Magnolia Warblers are often seen in migration because they often feed low on shrubby vegetation. They were named by an early American ornithologist, Alexander Wilson, when he first saw them in a stand of magnolias in Mississippi. They have several identication markings such as a dark mask, white eyeline, yellow breast with black streakings, a yellow rump and white tail panels.
