Grace's Warbler was discovered by Dr. Elliott Coues in the Rocky Mountains in 1864. Coues chose to name the new species after his 18-year-old sister, Grace Darling Coues, and his request was honored when Spencer Fullerton Baird described the species scientifically in 1865.

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

munication of Grace's Warblers and to gain in- sight into the function and evolution of song in wood-warbler, I studied the details of song variation and use by members of this species. I tape-recorded samples of males singing throughout the breeding season and analyzed spectrographically every recorded song. This had two advantages over previous studies. More

The first known occurrence of Grace's Warbler in California was a female collected near Imperial Beach, San Diego County by Guy McCaskie on 29 October 1966. I have examined the specimen, San Diego Natural History Museum #36047, and compared it with other Grace's Warblers in this collection.

Robertson to the Grace's Warbler and where we also saw the Vermilion Flycatcher just southwest of the bridge near a pile of old tires. I also briefly saw a female Vermilion Flycatcher there. We then headed up to Chimney Creek and parked near the entrance where we met Chuck Pappe, the campground host, who originally found the bird. He first noticed a different song in the area around 9 May and finally got a look at the bird on 22 May. More

A warbler of southwestern pine forests, the Grace's Warbler is a bird of the tree tops. It is found in mature pines from Nevada to Nicaragua. More

Grace's Warblers are locally common in open mixed pine-oak woodlands above 2,000 m (7,000 feet). Grace's Warblers summer in the south-western United States and northern Mexico and migrate into Central America for the winter, traveling as far south as Nicaragua. The nesting habits of Grace's Warblers are largely unknown, as nests are very rarely found. The nest is a compact cup of plant fibers, the inside lined with hair and feathers, placed high above ground on a tree branch, usually pine. More

Status and Reasons for Concern: Grace's Warblers have a high conservation need locally and throughout their range. A very high proportion (estimated at 30.6%) of their total population occurs within Physiographic Area 87, indicating that this area has high responsibility for their conservation. These warblers are not adequately monitored by the BBS within Physiographic Area 87, and data collected between 1969 and 1996 are too sparse to allow analysis of trends (n = 11 routes). More
