7. THE CANADIAN WARBLER

Length: About 5½ inches.

Male: Gray above without white wing-bars or spots on tail; crown with

fine black spots; _eye-ring_, and _line from bill to eye-ring bright

yellow_; under parts bright yellow; _short black streaks extending

across the entire breast_; white under tail.

Female: Similar to male, with fainter streaks on breast.

Song: A rapid and clear warble, more easily recognized than that of some

warblers.

Habitat: "The Canadian Warbler during the migration season is found

about our door-yard shrubbery, and the thickets on the edges of

streams and woodland.... In the nesting season we must seek for it

in cooler gullies or in damp, cool woodlands of deciduous or mixed

growth."[151]

Range: Eastern North America. Breeds from south-central Canada to

central Minnesota, Michigan, New York, and Massachusetts, and along

the Alleghanies to North Carolina and Tennessee; winters in Ecuador

and Peru.
