The Tennessee Warbler is a fairly plain warbler,
common as a migrant through the state. Despite the name, the Tennessee
Warbler is only found briefly in that state during migration. It was named
by Alexander Wilson, who first found the species in the state of Tennessee in
1832. Populations
of Tennessee Warblers often fluctuate wildly, following cycles of high and low
spruce budworm populations.
