According to a new study, the evolution of two color related genes helps explain the striking diversity in colors and patterns among wood warblers, like the blackburnian warbler pictured here. (Credit ...

Last Saturday, our local Audubon chapter sponsored a "Warbler Walk." A dozen people wandered the trails around Brattleboro in search of the tiny little birds known as wood warblers. By the end of the ...

The differences in the three wood warbler sub-species involve slight variations in plumage – with centrally located birds being browner and eastern birds sporting grayish feathers. Breeding and ...

A new study used modern methods to reassess a foundational study in biology that explained how ecologically similar species of wood warblers coexist. The research team examined foraging behavior, ...

Our collaborative work on warblers is primarily led by Dr. David Toews and his group at Pennsylvania State University as a part of their research on the diversification in the New World wood warblers.

The incidence rate of hybridization appears to be much higher for parulid warblers compared to other bird taxa. Over 50% of the species in this family have been reported to hybridize. Here, we report ...

As spring grows closer, a small group of wood warbler species will get a head start on migration, moving into Eastern Iowa from warmer areas to the south. The majority of wood warbler species wait for ...

Nov. 30 (UPI) --Two genes that dictate the unique colors and plumage patterns of New World warbler species evolved via two distinct processes, researchers have found. These divergent pathways, ...

A two-year study of the Wilson's Warbler was made in two different habitats. Older males appeared to return earlier than second-year males and females. With one exception, males returned to ...

Things seem to be progressing nicely with the bird community in and around my meadow. The blue jays and northern cardinals are going through their “ugly duckling” phase, and there are a couple of ...
