224 PASSERES : Perching Birds 



GOLDEN PILEOLATED WARBLER 



(685b. Wilsonia pusilla chryseola) 4f in. 



Male: Golden yellow, with shining black cap; back and wings 

 rich yellow-green. 



Female: Yellow less vivid; cap green-edged and reduced in 

 size, sometimes lacking. 



Song: A rather labored, but not unmusical " chee-chee-chee- 

 chea." 



A tremendously active bird, usually in low trees and 

 shrubbery. 



PILEOLATED WARBLER 



(685a. Wilsonia pusilla pileolata) 4f in. 



Like the Golden Pileolated, but duller and darker throughout. 

 Song and habits the same. 



The "Black-capped Yellow Warbler" of the interior. 



PAINTED REDSTART 



(688. Setophaga picta) 5| in. 



Black with vermilion breast; a large white wing-patch, and 

 three outer tail-feathers white. This color-pattern is unique and 

 distinctive. 



A dandy among Warblers, this bird has all the strutting 

 habits of its genus, and its antics in "showing off" are almost 

 ludicrous. 



RED-FACED WARBLER 



(690. Cardellina rubrifrons) 51 in. 



Whole face, throat, and sides of neck red; a black bonnet covers 

 crown and ear region; back, wings, and tail gray; nape and 

 rump whitish; dirty- white below. 



By habit a twig-tip feeder, said to be almost chickadee-like in 

 action.
