      singing birds belonging to the family {Sylviid[ae]}, many

      particularly musical.

   Note: The American warblers are often divided, according to

      very small American warblers belonging to {Parula},
      {Mniotilta}, and allied genera, as the blue yellow-backed

      creeper ({Mniotilta varia}).

   {Fly-catching warbler} (Zo["o]l.), any one of several species
      of warblers belonging to {Setophaga}, {Sylvania}, and
      allied genera having the bill hooked and notched at the
      tip, with strong rictal bristles at the base, as the
      hooded warbler ({Sylvania mitrata}), the black-capped
      warbler ({S. pusilla}), the Canadian warbler ({S.
      Canadensis}), and the American redstart (see {Redstart}).
      

   {Ground warbler} (Zo["o]l.), any American warbler of the

      Philadelphia}), and the Maryland yellowthroat (see
      {Yellowthroat}).

   {Wood warbler} (Zo["o]l.), any one of numerous American
      warblers of the genus {Dendroica}. Among the most common
      wood warblers in the Eastern States are the yellowbird, or
