WOOD WARBLERS 



The pileolated warbler is a closely related 

 species found in all of the western country 

 from Alaska to Arizona and from the Rocky 

 Mountains to the Pacific. Less common than 

 the former along the coast. 



The golden pileolated warbler lives in the 

 thickets of alder and vine maple along streams, 

 thick damp woods, along the edges of woods 

 roads and in the tangle of brush and vines 

 that line the deep canyons. Its quiet song of 

 four or five notes is uttered in a descending 

 scale and is not distinctive. Its black cap is 

 a certain field mark since no other of the 

 yellow warblers has it. The golden pileolated 

 warbler is an abundant summer resident 

 throughout its range but keeps so close to 

 cover as to escape observation unless one is 

 watching for it. Its nest is of the usual 

 warbler type usually placed in bushes near 

 the ground.
