Proposed Legislation Could Keep This Warbler in Song

March 15, 2022/in News, Nongame Wildlife, Recovering America’s Wildlife Act, Take Action, Wildlife Watchers /by Kate Hill

Golden-winged warblers (Vermivora chrysoptera) are slim, silver-gray birds with patches of bright gold on their head and wings. Hence the name “Golden-winged.”

If you wish to see the birds in person, you might have trouble finding them with your binoculars. And it’s not because they are small in size.

Golden-winged warblers have experienced one of the steepest population declines of any songbird in recent decades.

The birds prefer shrubby habitats nearby to open woodlands–called early successional habitats–created and maintained by disturbances such as storms, logging, wildfires, and flooding. But these types of habitats are shrinking fast.

Right now, there isn’t steady funding to manage nongame species such as the golden-winged warbler.

Recovering America’s Wildlife Act could change that.

The Act would provide $25.6 million in funding each year to help conserve Tennessee species in greatest conservation need. If passed, the Act could help get conservation efforts underway for the warbler and many other species in need of help.

>>TAKE ACTION: Show your support for Tennessee’s wildlife by asking state leaders to support Recovering America’s Wildlife Act.
