| Comments: The
Golden-winged Warbler is found throughout the Northeastern United States
in the summers and winters in the Yucatan Peninsula to the northern
portions of South America. It nests in clumps of grass or at the base of
trees, making a rough-looking cup of bark and grasses. It eats insects and
spiders it finds among the foliage and dead leaves.
Due to the expansion of the Blue-winged Warbler territory, which competes for the same resources as the Golden-winged Warbler, its numbers have declined. Breeding between the species has created a hybridized warbler known as the Brewster’s or Lawrence’s Warbler". The habitat of the Golden-winged warbler is threatened by development and deforestation. There is current pressure from certain sectors and Federal level to open it’s remaining habitat to surface mines and clear-cut programs. This will ensure that this bird becomes extinct in the next few decades. |
