The New International Encyclopædia/Kentucky Warbler

KENTUCKY WARBLER. One of the most beautiful of the American wood-warblers (Geothlypis formosa), migratory and numerous in summer in the southeastern parts of the United States. It is clear olive-green, bright yellow below; head and neck of male black, with a yellow stripe above and behind the eye. In the female the black is replaced by dusky olive. Its terrestrial habits lead it to haunt thickets near streams for the most part, and its nest is made on or near the ground. See Warbler, and Colored Plate of American Wood-Warblers.
