2013 Bonanza Bird #22: Blue-winged Warbler

July 22, 2013 in Birdorable Bonanza 2013 and Warblers with 4 comments

Happy Monday! Our 2013 Birdorable Bonanza continues today with our new bird, the Blue-winged Warbler.

The Blue-winged Warbler is a lovely species of New World warbler that breeds across a range in eastern North America. They are migratory; winters are spent in the Caribbean and Central America.

Blue-winged Warblers are closely related to Golden-winged Warblers. The two species often hybridize; offspring are called either "Brewster's Warbler" (who take after the Blue-winged parent) or "Lawrence's Warbler" (who more resemble the Golden-winged parent).

Tomorrow we'll add a species of duck that faces a threat from a very close relative.
