BIRD OF THE WEEK
Magnolia Warbler can be identified by its distinctive tail consisting of a black tip with a broad white band. It has yellow underparts, belly and breast with black streaking on the chest in the spring and white wing patches.
The vocalizations of the Magnolia Warbler can be split into the song and the call note. The song consists of a short and musical vocalization such as: ”wee-o, wee-o, wee-chee” or “weeta weeta wit-chew.” The call note is unique to the wood-warblers and is represented by “tlep”, “nieff”, “schlep” or “tzek” typically during migration.
