Kirtland’s Warbler returns to Canada
8 December 2007 - According to Bird Studies Canada, a pair of Kirtland’s Warbler [Dendroica kirtlandii] have bred in Canada at a military base in eastern Ontario. This is the first breeding in Canada in over 60 years. Kirtland’s Warbler does not normally breed outside of Michigan in the US, but this year, in addition to the nest in Ontario, others were found in Wisconsin. Habitat loss across its northern breeding range caused the population to drop to fewer than 200 males in the 1970s. In 2006, almost 1,500 singing males were, however, recorded in Michigan.
