This open-mouthed Black-throated Green Warbler carving was hand-crafted from solid Basswood. The Black-throated Green Warbler has bright, olive-green upper-parts with a yellow face and greenish ear patch. The under-parts are white, tinged with yellow on the sides of the vent and often on the breast. The male has a black throat and upper breast with black-streaked sides. Females show much less black below. One song is a hoarse zee zee zee-zo-zee; the other song is often written as trees, trees, whispering trees. Commonly found in coniferous or mixed forests in the summer.
