There are many stunning warblers in nature. These tiny fluffy creatures are gifted striking coats, making them conspicuous in their colony. Multiple hues splash on their plumage but they blend harmoniously and beautifully. Sometimes, even two colors can make an artwork
Among these magnificent birds is the Canada warbler. It wears a one-of-a-kind silver grey vest. Meanwhile, a bright yellow covering covers the breast, neck, and belly. What a lovely contrast!
Just look! These adorable fluffy creatures wear a delicate black opal-like necklace. It’s actually small black flecks dangling from its neck. For this prominent feature, they are sometimes called “necklaced warbler”.
The female and the male of this species look similar. However, the male has a darker necklace and longer tail than the female. Young birds have faint grey necklaces.
The Canada warbler is a small boreal songbird of the New World warbler Parulidae family. As migrants, these birds choose to live in Canada and the northeastern United States during the summer and fly to northern South America when the winter comes.
These birds like to live in thickets, where they eat insects that they find in the plants or on the ground.
When the breeding season begins, approximately 2/3 population of this warbler inhabits in boreal forests. The female builds her nest out of root masses, hummocks, stumps, banks, mossy logs, and sometimes leaf litter. This nest is laid very close to dense ground cover.
She then lays 5 eggs in her nest and incubates them for 12 days. The female continues to feed her hatchlings until fully-fledged, around 10 days. Noticeably, the male joins his mate in this process.
