As far as my observations go, these warblers seem to be 

 imposed on by C'owbirds more than any other unless it be 

 the Chestnut-sided. The percentage of nests containing 

 these obnoxious eggs is quite large and the resulting mor- 

 tality due to the over-crowding of the nest, is also quite 

 large among the little Yellow Warblers.
