In their actions and choice of haunts the Golden-winged resemble 

 the Blue-winged Warblers. Their song is of much the same quality, 

 but the notes are all of the same kind and length, and the bird utters 

 a rather lazy zee-zee-zee-zee, at once di*linguiliable from the song of 

 pinna.

This Warbler is an inhabitant of rather open woodland, young 

 swnnd growth, or tree-bordered fields. In addition to the usual chip. 

 it has a sharp, characteristic call-imtf, while its song is aliout as likely 

 to attract attention as that of the Chestnul-sidrd WarMer. Mitu>t 

 writes it "u*-ef-wef~ee, trit -n-irit -a-iril ," while I<angille gives it 

 as "ke-taee-lu-tiiee-ke-taee-chip-ef-ehip-er-chip-rf-chip" and compares 

 the first half to the penetrating tmtes ..f the Black and White Warbler, 

 and the last half to the twitter of the Chipping Sparrow.
