Abstract
MORSE1 has postulated that the two song types of the black-throated green warbler (Dendroica virens) have different functions: song A for territorial defence and song B for courtship and pair-bond maintenance. On the basis of several years of study of the songs of this and other species of Parulidae, I feel it is possible to criticize Morse's hypothesis on several points and to suggest an alternative explanation.
