AT: American Bird Conservancy Webinar – Update on the Kirtland’s Warbler

Join American Bird Conservancy as we celebrate the 5 year anniversary of the delisting of the Kirtland’s Warbler from the Endangered Species Act.

For many, the Kirtland’s Warbler is a rare sight, as it has specific habitat requirements and one of the smallest breeding ranges of any North American bird. It was one of the first species to be listed under the Endangered Species Act (ESA) after its passage in 1973.  By 1987, the number of singing males had dropped to a low of 167. Thanks to decades of conservation work by numerous partners, including habitat management programs, continued monitoring, and control of nest-parasitizing cowbirds, the number of singing males rebounded to over 2,300 by 2015. How did the Kirtland’s Warbler recover? How is it faring? What conservation work is still needed to keep the population thriving?
