In Art
John James Audubon illustrates the Canada Warbler in Birds of America (published, London 1827-38) as Plate 5 entitled "Bonaparte's Warbler - Muscicapa bonapartii". The single female (now properly identified as a Canada Warbler) is shown perched in a Great Magnolia (Magnolia grandiflora) branch that was painted by Joseph Mason. The final, combined image was engraved and colored by Robert Havell Junior at the Havell workshops in London. The original painting was purchased by the New York History Society where it remains to this day (January 2009).
