Sycamore Warbler
Closely resembling the preceding, but rather smaller, and without yellow in front of the eye.
Breeding Range--"The Mississippi Valley north to Kansas, southern Indiana, and southern Illinois; east to western South Carolina" (Chapman). Davie gives the range as, "North to Lake Erie and southern Michigan, and east to western North Carolina."
The nest is usually placed in sycamore trees. "It is composed of fine shreds of vegetable material intermingled with short, slender twigs as the base."
The eggs are identical in markings with those of the yellow-throated warbler, but are slightly smaller in size.
