The Nashville Warbler is a small, yellow-green warbler with a gray head and bold white eye ring that breeds in regenerating forests and shrubby bogs. Despite the name, it was simply first collected near Nashville during migration — it doesn't particularly favor Tennessee. It bobs its tail constantly, a useful behavioral identifier.
