This Black-throated Blue Warbler carving was hand-crafted from solid Basswood. The male Black-throated Blue Warbler has a black throat, cheeks and sides with separate blue upper-parts and white under-parts. Also present is a bold, white patch at the base of the primaries. The female's pale eyebrow is distinct on her dark face. Also the female's upper-parts are a brownish-olive with buffy underparts and has a smaller wing patch. The typical song is a slow series off four or five wheezy notes with the last note normally being a higher zwee-zwee-zwee-zweeee or a slower zur zurr zreee. The call is a single sharp dit. Inhabiting deciduous forests, this bird is usually seen in the lower or mid-level branches.
