A common migrant distinguished by the beauty of his costume even in this
family of gayly clad birds. When traveling, the Magnolia may be found in
woods and woody growth of varied character, but when nesting, it shows a
fondness for spruce forests, building in small spruces usually within
six feet of the ground.

The Magnolia's song resembles the Yellow Warbler's in tone. Thayer in
"Warblers of North America" describes it as "peculiar and easily
remembered; _weeto: weeto-weeeete-eet_, or _witchi, witchi, witchi tit_,
the first four notes deliberate and even and comparatively low in tone,
the last three hurried and higher pitched, with decided emphasis on the
antepenult _weet_ or _witch_."

The eggs, laid in the first half of June, are white marked with brown.
