Excerpts Adapted from the Birds of Saskatchewan:

A Tennessee Warbler's song is satisfyingly easy to recognize, handy when you want to identify yet another small olive-grey bird. In spring, listen for its staccato song, a conservative chipping with an enthusiastic high-pitched trill as finale. The Tennessee breeds widely across forested Canada and winters from southern Mexico south to Colombia and Venezuela.

Tennessee Warblers are widespread in Saskatchewan's boreal forests, where they are found in a variety of forested habitats. Local studies of habitat preferences are contradictory, suggesting that food availability is more important than habitat. As migrants they occur in all types of wooded habitat.

The Tennessee Warbler is a common summer resident in the boreal forests of Saskatchewan. South of the breeding range it is a common migrant (Smith 1996). Except for occasional nestings in Saskatoon, Last Mountain Lake Regional Park, and Cypress Hills, late summer records, including some singing males south of the normal breeding range, are most likely of post-breeding migrants rather than true breeding birds.
