 Birds of Nova Scotia - Tennessee Warbler   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
It was evidently overlooked by nineteenth-century observers prior to Downs (1888), who recorded it as "rather common inland." It is among the later warblers to arrive (average 16 May, earliest 7 May) and can still be found on the move during early June in places where it does not nest.
During the nesting season, despite its ground-nesting habits and the marked preference it shows for bushy pastures as nest sites, it tends to feed among the treetops, a trait which adds to the difficulty of identifying it positively in life.
Its name is derived from the fact that it was first described from a specimen which by mere chance was collected in Tennessee and is in no way indicative of its distribution.
