Using a list of Setophaga warblers given, we observed their plumage characteristics via preserved warblers provided and reputable web sources. After observing their plumage characteristics, we chose twelve characteristics to compare among the list of warblers provided: presence of wing bars, nape color, tail color, breast color, crown color, belly color, toe color, supercilium color, orbital feather color, bill color, flank color, and tarsus color. For each warbler, we sorted through our twelve characteristics and distinguished by color or presence of these characteristics. We, then, chose four characteristics (presence of wing bars, nape color, orbital feather color, and belly color) and plotted them on the genus Setophaga cladogram.
