Magnolia warbler.

Another good day at Rondeau Provincial Park on May 15, 2018.
Lots of warblers, many down low enough to photograph.
This is from May 10, 2018. Haven't had an opportunity to go through the 1,000 plus photos from today.

Magnolia warbler.
Setophaga magnolia
The name of the species was coined in 1810 by Alexander Wilson, who collected a specimen from a magnolia tree in Mississippi. He actually used the English name "Black-and-yellow Warbler" and used "magnolia" for the Latin species name, which became the common name over time.

Sam seemed quite upset over the blow to feline superiority.
