Olive Warbler

SCIENTIFIC NAME: Peucedramus Taeniatus 

Males' plumage are mostly gray body with some olive-green on the wings and two white wing bars. Head and breast are "tawny-orange", and there is a black patch through the eye.

In females and juveniles, the orange is replaced by yellow, and the black mask is more diffuse.

In addition to differences in size, plumage varies geographically as well, with southern birds having more brightly coloured plumage.

CALL: A single high-pitched, hollow-sounding "peew".

SONG: The male and female sing a burry song of 2 repeated notes on different pitches. Sometimes the first note is lower than the second, but other times it is reversed. The song sounds like a burry "tea-cher", "tea-cher" or a "we-cha", "we-cha". They repeat each phrase 3–5 times.
