Blackburnian Warbler

The Blackburnian Warbler, Dendroica fusca , is a small New World warbler. They breed in eastern North America, from southern Canada, westwards to the southern Canadian Prairies, the Great Lakes region and New England, to North Carolina.

The Blackburnian Warbler is classified as Least Concern. Does not qualify for a more at risk category. Widespread and abundant taxa are included in this category.

The Blackburnian Warbler, Dendroica fusca , is a small New World warbler. They breed in eastern North America, from southern Canada, westwards to the southern Canadian Prairies, the Great Lakes region and New England, to North Carolina. Blackburnian Warblers are migratory, wintering in southern Central America and in South America, and are very rare vagrants to western Europe. Blackburnian Warblers are 11.5 cm long and weigh 8.5 g.

* The Blackburnian Warbler is territorial on its breeding grounds and solitary in the winter. It forms flocks only during migration. * Although the Blackburnian Warbler does not associate with other birds while it is nesting, it will join foraging flocks of chickadees, kinglets, and nuthatches after the young fledge. The warbler will follow the mixed flock with its begging young. More

Blackburnian Warblers lay 4-5 eggs in a cup-shaped nest which is usually placed 2–38 m (5–80 feet) above the ground, on a horizontal branch. These birds are insectivorous, but will include berries in their diets in wintertime. They usually search for insects in treetops. Blackburnian Warblers' songs are a simple series of high swi notes, which often ascend in pitch. Their call is a high sip. These birds were named after Anna Blackburne , who was an English botanist.

Bent Life History for the Blackburnian Warbler - the common name and sub-species reflect the nomenclature in use at the time the description was written. BLACKBURNIAN WARBLER DENDROICA FUSCA (Muller) HABITS Bagg and Eliot (1937) give the following account of the history of the naming of the Blackburnian Warbler: Some time in the later eighteenth century, a specimen (apparently female) was sent from New York to England, and there described and named for a Mrs. More

The Blackburnian warbler has a fiery orange throat, broad white wing patch, and a tringular ear patch—all quite vivid on adult males. Female and immature males have a more pale throat, and immature females even more pale. An orange or yellow forehead stripe is distinct in all males, less so in females. The Blackburnian’s summer breeding range spreads from New England and maritime Canada west through the Great Lakes to Saskatchewan and south along the Appalachians. More

The Blackburnian Warbler (Dendroica fusca) breeds in the north spruce woods of Canada and the northeastern United States. Closely tied to tall coniferous forests, the species does make its way down the Appalachian range into Georgia, breeding at the higher elevations. Blackburnians rarely descend from their lofty domain during the breeding season. Males perch at the very tip of the tallest spruces to sing their high-pitched, sibilant songs. More

The male Blackburnian Warbler is a favorite for many people. He is well worth the neck strain it takes to see him while he sings and forages in the treetops. No other warbler has an orange throat, and his is flaming! Blackburnian Warblers are uncommon migrants across the state, and nearly reach the southern limit of their breeding range in the mountains of East Tennessee. More

The Blackburnian Warbler is a striking neotropical migratory bird. The bright orange, black and white colors of the adult male are very distinctive. It is a breeder in coniferous forests of the northeastern United States, parts of Canada and the Appalachians. The Genus name Dendroica basically translates to More

In most parts of its breeding range, the Blackburnian Warbler nests in mature coniferous and mixed forest and often occurs in highest densities in old-growth forests. Coniferous trees, whether spruce, balsam fir, pine, or hemlock, are an essential habitat component throughout the species range. At the end of the breeding season, young and adults often leave the conifers to forage in food-rich paper birches. As with other warblers, it may use virtually any woody habitat, and occasionally even herbaceous habitats, during migration. More

The Blackburnian Warbler is a small songbird which is widely distributed in North America, including southern Canada, the Great Lakes and South Carolina. In winter months, they migrate to Central and South America. They are characterized by a distinct yellow and black head pattern with an orange throat. Breeding grounds for the Blackburnian Warbler include coniferous and mixed woods, and they prefer spruce and hemlock trees. Their diet consists mostly of insects, but they will occasionally eat berries as well. More

In summer, Blackburnian Warblers occur in mature hemlock, spruce, fir, and mixed conifer and deciduous forests from south-central and southeastern Canada and northeastern United States, south in the higher elevations of the Appalachians to western North Carolina and eastern Tennessee. In mixed forests, they usually forage in coniferous trees. Sometimes, especially in the southern parts of the range, they may also inhabit oak-hickory forests. More

The Blackburnian Warbler is a brilliantly colored Neotropical migrant, one of a large group of Dendroica wood warblers that coexist during the breeding season in the northeastern coniferous forests of North America. Birds of this group are so similar structurally that early students of bird foraging and niche partitioning wondered how they coexisted. They are now known to separate ecologically by foraging areas (MacArthur 1958, Morse 1968), the Blackburnian exploiting a treetop niche. More

for now, the blackburnian warbler embarks on a lengthy migration every year. From its breeding grounds in the boreal forest and across the northern U.S. from Minnesota to Massachusetts, the blackburnian travels to winter in the highlands from Costa Rica to Venezuela and Peru. Along the way, it relies on important stopover sites along America’s Gulf Coast. Birds of a Feather Except during migration and breeding, blackburnian warblers are largely solitary. More
