Detailed Description
Scientists at the Fall Migration Station look for clues to identify whether an individual is a male or female to determine the demographics of a population. In Magnolia Warblers looking at the white spots in the tail is a good clue. The large square tail spots, like the one pictured, indicate this is a male Magnolia Warbler.
