Tennessee Warbler (Vermimvora peregrina)

Photos by BarrytheBirder

The Audubon Society Field Guide says this warbler was discovered in 1811 by noted ornithologist Alexander Wilson, who first saw it in Tennessee.

It is found across southern Canada from the Yukon to Labrador, British Columbia to southern Ontario, Maine and Wisconsin.   They winter in Mexico to northern South America.

They live in open mixed woodlands and bogs in the breeding season and in trees and bushes during migration.   They only visit Tennessee during the migration season.

They are rather plain, green above, yellow breast and white below, but have a noticeable bold white eyebrow and dark eye line.
