[ In lulling strains the feathered warblers woo. warbler Tickell, On Hunting. Dan Chaucer, the first warbler . Tennyson , Fair Women. 2. Specifically, any one of a great number of small oscine pa erine birds, or dentirostral inse orial birds, of different families and many different genera, of both the Old World and the New. Especially - ( a ) A bird of the group composing the family Sylviidæ , or Old World warblers, with scarcely any representatives in America. This is one of the most extensive and varied groups of its grade in ornithology, now generally rated as only a subfamily ( Sylviinæ ) of Turdidæ . These warblers are all small, active, sprightly birds, and many are remarkable for the clearne , sweetne , and flexibility of their song. Among typical warblers of the subfamily Sylviinæ may be noted the species of Sylvia , the leading genus, as the blackcap and whitethroat; of Melizophi of Phyllos cop us , as the willow-warbler; of Aedon , as the lus , as the Dartford warbler; of Regulus , as the goldcrest; rufous warbler; of Hypolais , as the icterine warbler; of Acrocephalus , as the reed or sedge-warbler; of Locus tell a, as the gra hopper-warbler; of Cettia , as Cetti's warbler. Besides these, the accentor or hedge-sparrow, the nightingale ( Daulias luscinia ), the redbreast ( Erytha cus rubecula), the bluethroat, redstart, whinchat, stonechat, etc., have been brought under the definition of war bler, as members of the sylviine group. (6) In the United States, a bird of a different family, the American warblers, Dendræcidæ or Mniotiltidæ, a smaller and more compact group than the Sylviidæ, though the species are still very numerous and diversified. Few of them are noted for musical ability. The leading representatives of the American warblers are the numerous wood-warblers of the genus Dendræca; the worm-eating warblers, Helmin therus and Helm int hop hag a; the creeping warblers, Mnio tilt a and Parula; the ground-warblers, as Geothlypis; the chat, Icteria; the water-thrushes, Seiurus; the fly-catching warblers, Myiodioctes, Setophaga, and many others of tropical America. 3. In bagpipe music, an appoggiatura, or similar melodic embellishment. In the music performed upon this instrument [the bagpipe] the players introduce among the simple notes of the tune a kind of appoggiatura, consisting of a great number of rapid notes of peculiar embellishment, which they term warblers.
