About the Bird:Thesebright wood warblersare often found in the leafyunderstory of eastern forests, where they flash theirwhite outer tail feathersfrom time to time. But APP change may dry out moist habitats along the Gulf Coast where Hooded Warblers breed. The bird’s outlook is worse where it overwinters:APP's models predictit will lose 74 percent of itscurrent range in Mexico—unless warming is kept to 1.5 degrees, which will reduce the potential loss to only 15 percent.
