Went out yesterday for the first time looking for fall warblers in the woods and was not disappointed. This is my first time seeing a Magnolia in fall plumage and of course it looks like several others so I had to get some help from more experienced birders to make sure what it was. They say a good field mark for distinguishing it from those that are similar is the tip of the tail looks like it was dipped in black ink.

Good tip about the tail – thanks, I hadn’t heard that before.
