context_page_description: The cerulean warbler is a small songbird of the New World warbler family.
  Adult males have pale cerulean blue and white upperparts with a black necklace across the breast and black streaks on the back and flanks. Females and immature birds have greyer or greenish upperparts, a pale stripe over the eye, and no streaking on the back and no neck. All of these birds have wing bars and a thin pointed bill.
  They are found in deciduous forests of eastern North America during the breeding season and then migrate to forested mountain areas in South America.
  The species is considered threatened with an IUCN status of near threatened, indicating it does not face any imminent threat of extinction in the wild.
context_section_description: John James Audubon illustrates the cerulean warbler in Birds of America (London, 1827–38) as Plate 48 where two birds are shown perched in a bear berry bush. The image was engraved and colored by Robert Havell's London workshops. The original watercolor by Audubon was purchased by the New-York Historical Society where it remains to this day (March 2009).
  Jonathan Franzen uses the cerulean warbler as a plot device in his 2010 novel, Freedom.
  In the episode "The Big Picture" of the Curious George TV show, a book about the cerulean warbler by The Man in the Yellow Hat is published. George tries to help The Man distribute the book.
