THE BLUE-WINGED YELLOW WARBLER* Not a great deal is known about many of the warblers,and comparatively little has been observed of this memberof the very large family, comprising more than one hundredspecies. This specimen is also recognized by the name of theBlue-winged Swamp Warbler. Its habitat is eastern UnitedStates, chiefly south of forty degrees and west of the AUe-ghanies, north irregularly to Massachusetts and Michigan,and west to border of the Great Plains. In winter it livesin eastern Mexico and BLVE-WINGED YELLOW WARBLER. Life-size.
