Prairie warbler, Rondeau Provincial Park, August 7, 2023. We have had one in the lot next to us that we watched from the yard but the is the first time one has come to the water. Setophaga discolor. Like most warblers, Prairie Warbler sings two similar, but distinct, song types. The faster “A Song” is directed at the female for courtship and the “B Song” is sung at territorial boundaries to deter other males. source -Cornell Lab of Ornithology
