<\/a><\/p>\nDo Canada Warblers All Look the Same?<\/h2>\n
If you look at the \u201cnecklace\u201d of darker feathers on these birds, you may notice that they can differ between birds. That was helpful one day because it let me accurately report that I had seen three different Canada Warblers and not the same bird three times.<\/p>\n You\u2019d think our warbler would be Red and White, wouldn\u2019t you?<\/p>\n They aren\u2019t named Canada because they only live here: in fact according to an article by Ontario Nature about 15% of the population does not nest in Canada. Nor are they in Canada long: they arrive in May and leave starting in August.<\/p>\n According to the Boreal Birds website<\/strong><\/a>, the bird was named Canada Warbler because this is where it was first found by a naming ornithologist. It does nest from Newfoundland to British Columbia so it\u2019s a good warbler to hold the Canada name.<\/p>\n I enjoy seeing these birds on their brief fly-through visit each spring. They do tend to signal the end of warbler migration in my area, though, so it\u2019s a bit bittersweet. I cheer up when I remember it will all start again the next May. In fact, I\u2019m already looking forward to seeing them again in 2016.<\/p>\n Related Reading<\/strong><\/p>\n Join In<\/strong> No, this warbler isn’t red and white but it is an uncommon but widespread bird in Canada. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[19],"tags":[25,377,55],"class_list":["post-3609","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-focus","tag-birds","tag-canada-warbler","tag-warblers"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/naturalcrooks.com\/rambles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3609","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/naturalcrooks.com\/rambles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/naturalcrooks.com\/rambles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/naturalcrooks.com\/rambles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/naturalcrooks.com\/rambles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3609"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/naturalcrooks.com\/rambles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3609\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3614,"href":"https:\/\/naturalcrooks.com\/rambles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3609\/revisions\/3614"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/naturalcrooks.com\/rambles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3609"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/naturalcrooks.com\/rambles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3609"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/naturalcrooks.com\/rambles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3609"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\nWhy Is a Blue, Black and Yellow Bird Called a \u201cCanada\u201d Warbler?<\/h2>\n

\nThe leaves are usually out when the Canada Warblers arrive but in 2014 the leaves were late not the birds.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/a>
\nYes, it does look like these warblers prefer to find insects by looking up at the underside of twigs and branches. In almost every photo I have, they are looking up!<\/em><\/p>\n\n
\nDo Canada Warblers pass your home or nest near you? Please share your sighting with a comment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
