Color, song, habit and temperament combine to make the Hooded Warbler
one of the most attractive members of its family. As one sees it
flitting from bush to bush in woodland undergrowth, displaying its white
outer tail-feathers as it flies, pausing now and again to utter its
simple, sweet whistled song, one is impressed not only by its beauty but
by its gentleness. It nests in a bush within a foot or two of the
ground, laying 3-5 white eggs, wreathed with shades of brown spots,
early in May, in the South, in June, in the North.

Wilson's Warbler, a flycatching Warbler of the lower growth, favors
bushes near water, but is also found in dryer places. Thayer in
"Warblers of North America" says that its "song has much of the ringing
clarity of the Canada's and Hooded's songs." It nests on the ground,
laying 4 eggs, usually with a wreath of spots at the larger end, early
in June.
