The Rae Glacier Trail (Tennessee Warbler)

About this episode

This episode explores the Tennessee Warbler, its characteristics, habitat, and distinctive song.

The Tennessee Warbler is a small, drab warbler with a thin pointy bill and a short tail. They breed mostly in the Boreal Forest in Canada, but can also be found here in mountains of Kananskis Country. Their song is a very (very) loud jumble of rapidly accelerating very high pitched notes that can sound like "ticka ticka swit sisisisisisi”. Credits Songbirding: Kananaskis Country is a Songbirding Studios production. Recorded, engineered, narrated and created by Rob Porter.
