Magnolia Warbler (Setophaga magnolia)

Spring Bird Migration USA 04

The Magnolia Warbler has a distinctive black neckband with black streaks that radiate from the neckband giving the impression of a jeweled necklace. The Canada Warbler (Cardellina canadensis) is often confused with the Magnolia as it also has the jeweled necklace, but the Magnolia has other black streaks along its body and white wing bars and head marks, whereas the Canada has a blue head, back and wings.
