Warbler

Tiny feathered vocalist

A warbler is a small songbird known for its melodious, often complex singing.

The term covers several bird families across continents—Old World warblers in Europe and Asia, New World warblers in the Americas.

Birdwatchers prize them for their songs and varied plumage.

By extension, a warbler is anyone who sings, often with a hint of affectionate mockery: The old warbler still draws a crowd at the jazz club.
