SUCH a plain little warbler compared 

 with the gayer members of the family! 

 It it so like the warbling vireo in color, only 

 the line through the eye is more obscure. 



May 75, 1894. I saw tn i s species sing 

 frequently, a very loud song beginning 

 with a sort of sawing two note trill, rather 

 harsh and very staccato, but hesitating in 

 character, increasing to a rapid trill almost 

 exactly like a chipping sparrow's. A 

 noticeable but not especially musical song. 



May 10, 1895. I again heard many of 

 these birds sing. They seem to be one of 

 the most constant and vociferous singers of 

 any of our warblers. 



May 14, 1904. Seen against the grass 

 this bird is far from dull. Head so bluish, 

 and back so green, and all so soft and 

 delicately tinted.
