Canada doesn't have an official National Bird-
My vote would be for the Canada Warbler!
Any thoughts from the viewers?

Image taken in May. Oakville District, Province of Ontario. (Canada).

Thanks to everyone for viewing.

I'll second that vote !! I love all warblers and the Canada Warbler is right up there with the best of them !! Beautiful head turn, showing it's unique eye ring among warblers. Shown in it's preferred overall environment in an appropriate vertical composition. I've usually found the Canada Warbler to be a bit wary so you did very well with this one. Well done.

They are beautiful indeed and this photo does him justice. I have to admit that I really like seeing the necklace which is also a classic field mark identifier, but hey, that's not going to be seen on this side view of course. I just posted a photo of what I thought was Canada's national bird, the Gray Jay, but I guess it isn't "official". A strong case could be made for this warbler to hold the moniker, but won't start a bird war here, lol.
