Scrubby second growths, hillsides with scattered cedars and barberries,
and, sometimes, bushy places in the pines are the haunts of the
miscalled Prairie Warbler. Common and generally distributed in the
South, it is local in the North and not always found in districts which
seem to supply all its wants. Its song is composed of six or seven

generally built within 4 feet of the ground, the eggs, laid in May, are
white marked with shades of brown, often wreathed about the larger end.
