In Canada, the hooded warbler is found only in Norfolk County, which makes the appearance of these beautiful birds unique in Canadian heraldry. The ears of grain they hold and the tobacco leaves below them indicate some of the important crops grown in the County. The sandy compartment on which they stand marks the County's location on the north shore of Lake Erie, especially the intrusion of the Long Point peninsula. | In Canada, the hooded warbler is found only in Norfolk County, which makes the appearance of these beautiful birds unique in Canadian heraldry.
