This Northern Parula carving was hand-crafted from solid Basswood. This short-tailed warbler is gray-blue above with yellowish-green upper back and two bold, white wing bars. The throat and breast are bright-yellow and the belly is white. In the adult male, reddish and black bands cross over the breast. In the female and immature male, the bands are fainter or absent. Northern Parulas are commonly found in coniferous or mixed woods, especially near water.
