“The {{w|Canada warbler|Canadian Warbler, or Canadian Flycatcher [‘’Sylvania canadensis’’]}}, as it is sometimes called, lives in damp woods, where it can find plenty of insects. It catches them on the wing, as well as picking them off plants and trees. Its colouring is grey above with black streaks on its head; its breast is yellow, with a row of black marks across it, set like a {{w|Lord mayor|Lord Mayor}}’s {{w|Livery collar|chain of office}}. Its song is louder than that of most {{w|Warbler}}s, but very sweet and clear.”
