Canada Warbler



Traveling to his breeding grounds this male Canada Warbler made a quick stopover on Wing Island for rest and refreshment. Canada Warblers breed in the forested, wetland areas of Massachusetts north to the boreal forests of Canada. Their loosely woven nests are often placed on or near the ground. Insects and spiders are their main source of food, either catching them on the wing, gleaning from leaves, and ground feeding.
