I was out today and amongst trees of yellow warblers, I spotted a warbler that I have never seen before. No picture, but I did get good views.

Yellow belly, same size as Yellow Warbler. Wings were black, with some white/grey striping, almost similar to an American Goldfinch, but the black and white not as pronounced. Can anyone point me into a general direction, I'll know it once I see it.

Hi Mr Manning,

Magnolia warbler comes to mind. Could this be your warbler? What did the head and face look like?

Yeah!, thanks Gillian, that's the one!


After looking up this bird, it matches the one I saw today. A new lifer for me, thank you!

Glad to help! And the ironic thing is, when I posted my reply I totally forgot my user pic shows a Magnolia warbler in fall plumage!
