NO matter what other members of the 

 warbler family fail to appear in 

 the spring this one is always on hand. I 

 suppose one reason one always sees him is 

 that he is not at all shy, but allows a very 

 near approach. I saw this bird in Ten- 

 nessee and in Georgia when I was there, 

 and in both places heard the thin, wiry 

 song, a small, saw-filing sound, with the 

 harshness taken out one of the thinnest 

 of bird notes.
