This Oliver Warbler carving was hand-crafted from solid Basswood. The dark face of the Oliver Warbler broadens behind the eyes. Features include a long, thin bill, two broad, white wing bars and outer tail feathers that are extensively white. The adult male's head, throat, and nape are tawny-brown. The female has an olive crown, yellow face, pale-yellow throat and breast. The typical song is a loud peeta peeta peeta, similar to the call of the Tufted Titmouse. The call is a soft, whistled phew. Nesting and foraging high up in trees, the bird favors open, coniferous forests at elevations above 7,000 feet.
