Out now in Avian Conservation and Ecology, a paper I contributed fieldwork & artwork to! By Hankyu Kim and many other colleagues and researchers:

Annual migratory movement, apparent molt-migration, migration schedule, and diffuse migratory connectivity of Hermit Warblers. And hooray for free, open research for all!

Fieldwork for this was super fun - I was involved at the Yosemite site where I helped to set up nets and call in adult males to put their little tracking backpacks on them in a gorgeous old growth high altitude forest where they thrive!

Warbler Showdown; Bracket 2, Poll 6

Cape May vs Hermit

Cape May Warbler

Hermit Warbler

Voting ended onNov 22, 2023

Cape May Warbler (Setophaga tigrina)

IUCN Rating: Least Concern

Range: breeds almost entirely in southern Canada, from BC to Quebec; overwinters in the Caribbean, mostly the Greater Antilles.

Habitat: a variety of coniferous habitats with spruce and balsam fir, preferably medium to old-aged forests. They seem to favor areas hit by spruce budworm infestations. While overwintering, they can be commonly found in settled areas.

Hermit Warbler (Setophaga occidentalis)

IUCN Rating: Least Concern

Range: Western North America, breeding in northern California to Washington, then overwintering in Mexico and Central America.

Habitat: a canopy dweller who depends on high volumes of coniferous trees, with little regard to the understory. They overwinter in high elevations, most abundantly in pine-oak forests.
