| - | '''Status:''' | + | '''Status:''' Near Threatened. '''Global Population:''' 2,500 mature individuals. Lack of suitable breeding habitat has been a major threat to Kirtland's Warblers. They rely upon dense, young jack pine habitat; for when the trees reach seven meters, the birds no longer use them. Brown-headed Cowbirds have also been a serious threat to Kirtland's Warbler. Prior to current control measures, more than half the nests were being parasitized. Habitat fragmentation, recreational cabins, and predators including domestic cats are also threats. Populations appear to be increasing due to conservation programs. |
