Black & Yellow (Magnolia) Warbler Princeton Audubon Limited Edition
Magnolia Warbler, Dendroica magnolia Flora: purple-flowering raspberry, Rubus odoratus Print size: 26 1/4" x 39 1/4"; image size: 11 1/2" x 18 1/2" Produced 1985 - Princeton Audubon Limited Edition According to Roger Tory Peterson, "Audubon drew this immature magnolia warbler in Louisiana on October 20, 1821, when it was in its autumnal migration." The original for the plate was a painting made in 1829 and inscribed "Great Pine Swamp, Aug-12th." "Black and Yellow Warbler," the name formerly applied to the magnolia warbler, was most descriptive of its color, but had the disadvantage of being equally descriptive of several other warblers. Thus the change to magnolia warbler. In its movements it has a trick of partly spreading its tail, thereby showing the characteristic white band crossing midway.
