Prairie Warblers breed throughout much of the eastern US. They are found along woodland edges, overgrown fields, and mangrove swamps. The combination of olive drab back with dull wingbars, bright yellow underparts, and heavy streaking on the sides give them a beautifully distinct plumage. Their song, a series of buzzy notes that sounds like someone running their finger over the teeth of a comb, is easily learned. This Prairie Warbler was photographed at Cape May, New Jersey during fall migration. Photo taken with a Nikkor 300mm f4 EDAF lens on Kodachrome 200 film. (Date: September 1989)
