The Magnolia Warbler is a spring and fall migrate in our area. During migration they forage in dense areas along forest edges, woodlots, and parks. Magnolia Warblers breed in dense stands of young conifer trees, especially spruce in the north and hemlock in the south. They breed in the northern USA states and Canada.
