A Canada Bird

 There are only three birds that have the name of our country in their common name. Before this week we had seen all three, but only two in Canada.  A couple of days ago we were walking around a (dry) slough in a pasture when we saw bright yellow

and there was our first view of a Canada Warbler in Canada. 

This was likely a female, or possibly a first year male.

Similar to the bird we saw in Ecuador in December 2018, though a bit paler.  Perhaps that one was a young male?

Someday I'm hoping to see an adult male in all his beauty, but till then I am grateful for these.
