About the Bird: The Connecticut Warbler breeds entirely in Canada, but dedicated birders can find them in May or October migrating through Chicago or New York City. APP's APP models predict that the bird will lose all of its existing breeding range if the planet warms by 3 degrees, shifting into just a tiny pocket of the far north. Now fairly common in both the eastern and western parts of the continent, the Nashville Warbler will also likely lose ground but stands to gain more. The Golden-winged Warbler, which prefers leafy second-growth habitat and swamp edges, may be driven out of its current summer range across the entire United States and up into isolated pockets of Canada.
