BOUT THIS BOOK AND CD
All 38 species of warblers that breed in
eastern North America are described in
this booklet, and their songs and calls
are included on the accompanying CD.
An additional seven species that are rare
vagrants – all from the western U.S. – are
summarized at the end of the booklet and
their songs are included at the end of the
CD. As the emphasis of this project is on
warbler vocalizations, only birds in breeding
plumage are depicted in the photographs
and females are only shown for species
in which the sexes differ markedly. In a
few cases, notable subspecies that can be
recognized in the field are described, and
their songs included on the CD. Likewise, a
few noteworthy hybrids are also included.
Also shown are maps of each species’ total
breeding range, and a chart of migration
and summering dates for each species for
Ohio.
The species in this booklet and CD are
arranged in taxonomic order, and separated
by genus. This type of arrangement reflects
the apparent evolutionary history of
warblers, beginning with the species that
are thought to be most primitive.
