1. I am Setophaga fusca, a color species found in cooler forests of eastern North America in the summer. |
2. I have two distinct breeding populations, one in the Pacific Northwest, and another in the upper Midwest, the Northeastern U.S., and southeastern Canada. |
3. I am Setophaga caerulescens, and summer in the Appalachians, the Northeast, the Great Lakes area, and southeastern Canada. |
4. Unlike many warblers, I am found in both the eastern and western parts of North America. |
5. Not fair! I'm not very colorful, unlike many of my warbler cousins! |
6. Most of my kind breed in color forests of eastern North America, but a small distjunct population breeds in cypress forests of North Carolina. |
7. My scientific name is Seiurus noveboracensis. Seiouros is Greek for "wag-tail", which describe a habit of mine. |
8. Females of my kind lack my dashing black mask. |
9. My scientific name is Setophaga pensylvanica, and I am indeed a summer breeding bird in Pennsylvania, as well as elsewhere in eastern North America. |
10. My scientific name is Dendroica....wait a minute, if I gave you my scientific name, you'd guess immediately. |
11. I am not a particularly well-named species, as I'm not often found in my namesake. |
12. I have a close relative I sometimes interbreed with, producing hybrid "Brewster's" or "Lawrence's" Warblers. |
13. I'm rather plain compared to some warblers. except for a few areas in the extreme north, I'm just a migrant in the lower 48 states. |
14. I am the smallest of the North American Warblers, with a rather unusual summer habitat compared to most other warblers. |
15. I breed in much of the eastern U.S. and southeastern Canada during the summer months, including the far southeastern U.S. |
16. I am a tough one to photograph! I'm constantly moving and flicking my tail as I forage. |
17. My scientific name is Dendroica occidentalis. Occidentalis means "west", a good name for a species found only near the Pacific coast. |
18. I have two different plumages, with my "Myrtle" form mostly found in eastern North America, and the "Audubon's" mostly found in the West. |
19. I am mostly found in the Southeastern U.S., although I do breed in scattered locations as far north as southeastern Canada. |
20. A bird of the forest floor, I am heard more often than I am seen. |
