The Kfiitucky WarNrr fro<nients rather densely grown, well- 

 watered wcxxK lli-n- he may be found, on or near the ground, hop- 

 ping from limb to limb or icnlkiny ulxmt searching for food. Wln-n 

 singing, he generally mounts to the lower branches of the higher trees. 

 His song is entirely unlike that of any other Warbler. It is a loud, 

 rlearly whistled jH-rfonnance >f five, six, or seven notes tur-dle, titr- 

 dle,tur-dl? resembling in tone MHIH- of the calls of the Carolina Wren. 

 Kveii in the woods it may be heard at a distance of about one hundred 

 and fifty yards. 



In the height of the breeding season this Warbler is a most per- 

 M-tent singer. On one occasion, at Englewood, N. J., 1 watched a 

 male for three hours. During this period, with the exception of five 

 interruptions of less than forty-five seconds each, he sang with the 

 -t regularity once every twelve seconds. Thus, allowing for tlie 

 brief intervals of silence, he sang about 875 times, or some 5,250 notes. 

 I found him singing, and when I departed he showed no signs of 

 ceasing.
