Status of the Connecticut Warbler in British Columbia

Résumé du livre

The Connecticut warbler (Oporornis agilis) is an uncommon, forest-interior, neotropical migrant that is locally distributed in the boreal plains and taiga plains ecoprovinces of British Columbia. Due to its low populations, restricted distribution, and threats to habitat, the species is listed as a candidate for threatened or endangered status. This report describes the general biology of this warbler, its habitat and distribution, population size and trends, legal protection status, factors limiting growth and spreading of the warbler population, and the special significance of the species in British Columbia. The report concludes with recommendations and management options to protect the province's Connecticut warbler population.
