Vermivora chrysoptera Order: Passeriformes Family: Parulidae (New World Warblers)

This beautiful warbler is dangerously declining over most of its range, but Minnesota is one of its last strongholds. Laura made this blog post to summarize its population decline.. Laura’s favorite places to see breeding Golden-wings are Port Wing, Wisconsin, Hunt Hill Audubon Sanctuary near Sarona, Wisconsin, and a lovely spot in northeastern Wisconsin near Eagle River; she’s also seen them during spring migration at the Black Swamp Bird Observatory in northern Ohio. To hear the high-frequency songs and calls of this species, even with her hearing aids, Laura usually now needs Lang Elliott’s SongFinder.
