Canadian Birds - Warblers

Warblers, with their colourful plumage and cheery songs, are a favourite amongst bird enthusiasts. These little songbirds, rightly known as New World warblers or wood warblers, are seasonal visitors to Canada, flying remarkable distances between their South and Central American winter grounds and their breeding grounds in Canada’s varied landscapes. Springtime sees the return of these charming long-distance migrants, as well as the appearance of binocular-clad birders hoping to catch a glimpse of them. 

And a glimpse is likely all a person will get. Warblers are notoriously challenging to find, much less identify. Often the males’ song is the only sign that the birds are nearby. This book in an introduction to the warblers that can be found in Canada. It provides key physical characteristics, tips on where and when to look for the birds, what they eat and what their calls sound like, all important clues to help locate and identify these amazing little birds.
