| | olive |
 | | Cultivation of the olive is is a key characteristic of Mediterranean mixed farming, and played a large part in the economic development of ancient Greece because of the suitability of olive oil as an export crop. | | | Where the olive is carefully cultivated, as in Languedoc and Provence, it is planted in rows at regular intervals, the distance between the trees varying in different olivettes, according to the variety grown. | | | By the time of Solon the olive had so spread that he found it necessary to enact laws to regulate the cultivation of the tree in Attica, from which country it was probably distributed gradually to all the Athenian allies and tributary states. |

| | Audubon WatchList - Olive Warbler |
| | Olive Warblers are primarily birds of high-elevation pine forests. | | | Olive Warblers are usually found foraging high in the canopy of pines, which is one of the reasons why most aspects of this species' biology are poorly known. | | | Olive Warblers build their nests high in the canopy of pines and other coniferous trees, and place them at the terminal end of branches, far from the trunk. |

| | Orange-crowned Warbler forages by flitting from branch to branch or hovering in search of insects on foliage; will also take insects midair. | | | Lucy’s Warbler is one of only two members of the family to nest in holes in trees; it also sometimes builds its nest behind a piece of loose bark. | | | Wilson’s and Orange-crowned Warbler nests are on the ground; the others make their nests in forks or on horizontal branches of trees and shrubs. |

| | The Olive Warbler would not have as broad white tertial edges as our bird, and the olive-yellow coloration on the head also extends too far onto the mantle for that species. | | | Typically, Pine Grosbeaks have at least some yellow (or olive or russet) coloration on the uppertail coverts, particularly on a bird where the yellow coloration on the head extends this far onto the mantle. | | | The yellow-green coloration may remind some observers of a Chestnut-sided Warbler, but on that species the yellow-green coloration extends all the way down onto the rump. |
