Kirtland Warbler numbers rebounding

Written by on October 26, 2021

TRAVERSE CITY – Once endangered, the Kirtland’s warbler is maintaining healthy numbers in Michigan, Wisconsin and Ontario and expanding its range, according to officials yesterday.  The songbird’s population was estimated at 4,490 following a June survey — the first full count since 2015, when the total was put at 4,730.  The slight drop-off isn’t a concern because the tally’s accuracy is variable.  The population is expected to remain above 4,000 for the foreseeable future.
