Family:  (Parulidae) Wood-Warblers

Preferred Habitat:  Woodlands.

Seasonal Occurrence:   Greatest numbers in spring and fall migration.

Notes: The Nashville Warbler is a more common visitor to our area in fall than in spring. Its bright plumage, even in fall, make a striking impression even to non-birders. The combination of gray head, olive back, yellow throat and breast, and prominent eyering distinguish this warbler from other species. The song is a series of double notes followed by a faster trill, see-ba, see-ba, see-ba, tetetetetetetetetetah. Nashville Warblers breed in forests in the northern United States and Canada, where they build their nests on the ground.
