Warblers (Family Parulidae)

The New World warblers or woodwarblers are a group of small often
colourful passerine birds restricted to the New World. They are not
related to the Old World warblers (Sylviidae) or the Australian warblers.

All the warblers are fairly small. The smallest species is the Lucy's
warbler (Vermivora luciae), at about 6.5 grams and 10.6 cm (4.2 in).
The largest species depends upon the true taxonomy of the family.
Traditionally, it was listed as yellowbreasted chat, at 18.2 cm (7.2 in).
