Golden-winged Warbler Ecology, Conservation, and Habitat Management – PDF

This ebook in PDF format focuses on Golden-winged Warbler Ecology, Conservation, and Habitat Management. These birds are migratory songbirds that primarily breed in the Great Lakes region, with some populations found throughout the Appalachian Mountains. They winter in central and northern South America. However, their population has been significantly declining, primarily due to competition, habitat loss, and interbreeding with Blue-winged Warblers.

The Golden-winged Warbler is currently listed as endangered or threatened in 10 states in the US and in Canada. As a result of their alarming population decline, it has been proposed to place them under the protection of the U.S. Endangered Species Act.

The Studies in Avian Biology series, in collaboration with and on behalf of The American Ornithological Society, have compiled extensive research on Golden-winged Warblers, providing a wealth of peer-reviewed scientific information that can be used to make informed decisions on the bird’s conservation and management.
