 New World warbler - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This article refers to the New World wood warbler family of birds, the Parulidae.
The wood warblers or New World warblers are a group of small often colourful passerine birds restricted to the New World.
They are not related to the Old World warblers (Sylvidae) or the Australian warblers.

Groups included are (1) New World quail, small and compact, short stout bill with short, very curved culmen and serrated or toothed mandibular tomium, nostrils bare, hallux elevated, no tarsal spur, tarsal scutellation: single row of broad transverse scutes on front, on the back 2 or more row of long scutes and also small scales.
Nearly half the species are brood parasites (54 in the Old World, 3 in the New World), and brood parasitism evolved twice in the Old World Cuculinae and once in the New World Neomorphinae cuckoos.
New World finfoot ("sungrebe") male has pockets of skin on flanks under his wing, carries an altricial hatchling (naked, blind) in each pocket.

 Olive Warbler
The Olive Warbler (left) is a small passerine that is primarily resident in pine-oak forests of mountains from southeastern Arizona to Nicaragua.
It acts like a New World warbler — and is usually considered a New World warbler [Parulidae] — but the DNA evidence shows it to be of a distinct lineage.
It now appears that the Olive Warbler is a relict of a New World expansion of the accentors, left behind after the last Ice Age, just as the Wrentit Chamaea fasciata is a relict babbler, the only one in the New World.

Most are arboreal insect catchers; some, e.g., the fl-and-white, the yellow-throated, and the pine warblers, crawl on trees like nuthatches and are sometimes called creepers, e.g., the honey creeper of tropical America.
Most warblers build open, cup-shaped nests at moderate heights; they are favored victims of the parasitic cowbird.
Warblers are classified in the phylum Chordata, subphylum Vertebrata, class Aves, order Passeriformes, families Parulidae and Sylviidae.

 Kirtland's Warbler   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
The warbler’s peculiar nesting habits have contributed considerably to restricting the population growth of this tiny bird.
Warblers build their nests on the ground underneath jack pines that are 5-20 feet high, and they will move elsewhere when the trees grow too large.
Additional new habitat will become available each year for the next several years, so there is reason to be optimistic that the warblers will continue to increase.

 Family List 6th ed
The purpose of this list of Bird Families of the World is as an aid to world birders who desire to maximize their study of avian diversity by observing examples of as many bird families as possible or reasonable within the time and money available for travel.
To emphasize the close relationships among New World taxa, these three families were treated as subfamilies of a single family, Ramphastidae, by AOU (1998).
For example, they lumped together the New World warblers, tanagers, sparrows, icterids, flowerpiercers, Hawaiian honeycreepers, and others into a single family [Fringillidae] composed of 3 sub-families, 9 tribes, and 993 species, just because there preliminary statistics on the melting curves shown in their DNA-DNA hybridization studies were too low for their chosen "family" level.

 Cornell News: Warbler Watch
This time the ornithologists are focusing on 51 species of North American wood-warblers, commonly known as warblers, that are considered to be among the world's most beautiful birds as well as long-distance migration champs.
Most warblers begin arriving in the U.S. in April, particularly in the Gulf states, according to John Fitzpatrick, director of Cornell's ornithology laboratory.
During migration, warblers are likely to be found just about anywhere, from wilderness areas to suburban backyards, city parks, and cemeteries.
