It breeds in eastern North America in southern Ontario and the eastern United States. Its range is extending northwards, where it is replacing the very closely related golden-winged warbler, Vermivora chrysoptera. The blue-winged warbler is a small warbler at 11.4–12.7 cm (4.5–5.0 in) long, with a wingspan of 17–19.5 cm (6.7–7.7 in). The breeding plumage of the male consists of a bright yellow head, breast and underparts. There is no streaking of the underparts of the bird. It has a narrow black line though the eyes and light blueish gray with two white wing-bars, which are diagnostic field marks. The female is duller overall with less yellow on the crown. Immatures are olive green with wings similar to the adults. The song is a series of buzzing notes. The call is a sharp chip. * Link : - Subscribe : https://goo.gl/SXohQK - G+ : https://goo.gl/yH4r0H - Twitter : https://goo.gl/JyiJde - Facebook : https://goo.gl/AUeT79 * Please, liked, share, comment below this video. |
