This Prairie Warbler carving was hand-crafted from solid Basswood. The Prairie Warbler is olive above with faint chestnut streaks on the back. Other color features include bright-yellow eyebrows, yellow patch below the eye and bright-yellow below, streaked with black on the sides of the neck and body. There are two indistinct wing bars. The female and immature male are slight duller. The distinctive song is a rising series of buzzy zee notes. This bird is generally common in open woodlands, scrublands, overgrown fields, and mangrove swamps. Usually forages in lower branches and brush, twitching its tail.
