 | | Date : 9/11/2006 Time : 7:14:27 AM The name warbler is used for birds of two subfamilies of the flycatcher family, Muscicapidae; for birds of the New World wood warbler family, Parulidae; and for several species of birds in the thrush family, Turdidae. |
 | | The New World wood warblers usually have an unwarblerlike song and probably were named for their Old World counterparts because of their similar body shape, quick movements, and insectivorous habits. |
 | | In addition to their songs, a prime difference between the New World wood warblers and the Old World warblers is that the former have nine primary feathers (flight feathers on the "hand") whereas the latter have ten. |
