YELLOW-THROATED WARBLER
663. Dendroica dominica. 5¼ inches
Throat, breast and line from eye to bill yellow.
This species has habits very similar to those of the [Black and White Creeper], being often seen creeping around the trunks or over the branches of trees with almost as much facility as the [Nuthatches]. They are southern birds and are only rarely or accidentally found in the northern half of the U. S., and they are one of the few members of the family that winter in the southern parts of our country.
Song.—Loud and similar to that of the [Indigo Bunting], but shorter.
Nest.—Usually high up in pines and often concealed in tufts of moss; made of fine twigs and strips of bark, held together with cobwebs and Spanish moss; eggs greenish white, spotted with various shades of brown.
Range.—Southeastern U. S., breeding north to Virginia; winters in the West Indies. 663a. Sycamore Warbler (albilora) is like the Yellow-throated, but is white before the eye; found in the Mississippi Valley north to Illinois and Iowa; winters in Mexico.
