Still on the list. Nothing to show yet.

The Canada Warbler (Setophaga ruticilla) is a small songbird with slate-grey upperparts, yellow underparts, and a distinctive necklace of black streaks. They have relatively long tails that they flick frequently. They are found in dense, wet, and mossy habitats, especially during breeding season, and are known for their distinctive song. They are non-migratory but actually migrate to South America for the winter. They are currently listed as a threatened species due to habitat loss and fragmentation.
