About These Birds

Bahama Warbler

The Bahama Warbler is an Endangered wood-warbler endemic to the pine forests of Grand Bahama and Abaco islands, weighing about 9g with a wingspan of 13cm. It forages actively in the canopy and understory for insects and spiders. Its restricted range and ongoing habitat degradation make it particularly vulnerable.

American Redstart

The American Redstart is an active wood warbler weighing about 8 g with a 12.4 cm wingspan, with males showing bold black-and-orange plumage. It fans its tail and droops its wings to flush insects from foliage, a distinctive foraging behavior observed across its North American breeding range.
