2015 - $10 - 1/2 oz. Fine Silver Coloured Coin - Colourful Songbirds of Canada: The Magnolia Warbler

Despite its small size, the magnolia warbler (Setophaga magnolia) is easy to spot thanks to its bold black-and-yellow colouring. This little songbird sings almost constantly, filling the summer air with a series of clear, sweet whistles as it flits along the lower branches of the surrounding trees. Unless protecting its young, the warbler hardly seems shy; it is often seen spreading and flicking its tail feathers in a proud display of its colours, which have been beautifully recreated on this stunning coin!

During the breeding months, this delightful songbird can be found in coniferous forests across Canada, from Newfoundland and Labrador to British Columbia. Its energy, colours and song make the Magnolia Warbler a welcome summer resident whose presence only adds to the natural beauty of Canada's wilderness.
