formosus  The Kentucky warbler (Geothlypis formosa) is a small
species of New World warbler. It is a sluggish and heavy warbler
with a short tail, preferring to spend most of its time on or
near the ground, except when singing.   Adult Kentucky warblers
are about 13 cm (5 to 6 inches) long. They are mostly an olive-
green in color on their back and nape, and a brilliant yellow
below from their throat to their belly. They have a small tinge
of black on their crown, and a large black mask with a yellow
pattern that runs from the beak and encircles the eyes,
resembling a pair of spectacles. Female
