Wilson's Warbler, a flycatching Warbler of the lower 

 growth, favors bushes near water, but is also found in 

 dryer places. Thayer in "Warblers of North America" 

 says that its "song has much of the ringing clarity of the 

 Canada's and Hooded's songs." It nests on the ground, 

 laying 4 eggs, usually with a wreath of spots at the larger 

 end, early in June.

The Canadian Warbler haunts the lower growth of 

 deciduous forests. It is " a sprightly, wide-awake, 

 fly-snapping Warbler, vivid in movement and in song " 

 (Thayer). "The song is liquid, uncertain, varied, bright 

 and sweet" (Farwell). It nests on the ground early in 

 June, laying 4-5 eggs much like those of Wilson's Warbler.
