Blue-winged warbler : ウィキペディア英語版 | Blue-winged warbler
The blue-winged warbler (''Vermivora cyanoptera'') is a fairly common New World warbler, long and weighing . It breeds in eastern North America in southern Ontario and the eastern United States. Its range is extending northwards, where it is replacing the very closely related golden-winged warbler, ''Vermivora chrysoptera''. ==Taxonomy== The common name ''blue-winged warbler'' refers to the bluish-gray color of the wings that contrast with the bright yellow body of the male. The name of the genus ''Vermivora'' means "worm-eating". The genus used to include nine other new world warblers but now includes only the golden-winged warbler and Bachman's warbler which is believed to be extinct. The blue-winged warbler was one of the many species originally described by Linnaeus in his 18th-century work, ''Systema Naturae'', though the scientific name has changed several times. The species epithet ''Pinus'' was given by Linnaeus in 1766 but was a mistake as the original description of the species was actually based on illustrations of "pine creepers" drawn by others. The drawings depicted two different species, what we now call a pine warbler and blue-winged warbler. In 2010 the blue-winged warbler's scientific name was changed by the American Ornithologists Union to correct the error. Pine warblers retained the species name ''Pinus'' but the species epithet for blue-winged warbler was changed to ''cyanoptera''.
