Blue Yellow back Warbler
Drawn from Nature by J.J. Audubon
Engraved by R. Havell

As soon as the foliage of the forests begins to expand, the Blue Yellow-backed Warbler flies to the tops of the trees, and there remains during the season, gleaning amongst the leaves and branches, in the same active manner as it employed when nearer the ground, not leaving off its quick and short pursuit of small insects on the wing.

I have placed a pair of these Warblers on a handsome species of iris.

– John J. Audubon
