The Great Warbler ( Setophaga americana , Syn .: Parula americana ) is a small bird from the genus of the wood warbler ( Setophaga ) in the family of the wood warbler (Parulidae).
Great Warbler have a body size of about eleven centimeters. The upper side plumage is mostly gray with greenish spots. There are two wing rods on the wing covers. The underside plumage is white, that on the chest is pale yellow.
Great Warbler feed mainly on insects and spiders . Their breeding areas are in eastern North America , from southern Canada to Florida . Over the winter they move to southern Florida, Central America and the West Indies . It is also a rare guest in Western Europe .
Systematics
The Warbler is adjacent to the Elfenwald singer ( Setophaga pitiayumi ), the fire Waldsänger ( Oreothlypis gutturalis ) and the jewelery Waldsänger ( Oreothlypis superciliosa ) one of four types, the earlier in the genus Parula were performed. Although the Great Warbler and Wood Warbler are actually sister species to each other, it has been shown that these two are most closely related to the wood warbler species of the former genus Dendroica , with which they are now listed together in the genus Setophaga . The other two species are closely related to each other, but within the wood warbler they are quite remote from the wood warbler.
According to the IOU, the following subspecies are currently (2018) not differentiated for the Great Warbler.
