Partners in Flight (PIF) Landbird Population Estimate Database [accessed 25 October 2010]. Loss and degradation of habitat at migration stopover sites and on the wintering grounds are also identified as potential threats but the magnitude of these threats is not known (Chiver et al. McNicol, D.W. Mehlman, B.E. 2011). Would immigrants be adapted to survive in Canada? 2011; Walters and Nol 2011). 2001. On June 5, 2003, the Species at Risk Act (SARA) was proclaimed.

Survival of fledgling Hooded Warblers (Wilsonia citrina) in small and large forest fragments. The chestnut-sided warbler (Setophaga pensylvanica)was a very vigorous bather! The most recent data (2002 Ontario Land Cover mapping) indicate a continued increase in overall forest cover in southern Ontario to 29% (OMNR 2006). They generally nest in areas with a dense and shrubby understory, choosing shrubs or saplings such as blackberry, beech, holly, switchcane, black cherry, viburnum, and hawthorn. comm., October 2011). 2002.

The 2001-05 EO is more than double the comparable figure calculated using OBBA1 data from 1981-85. 2003; Heagy and Badzinski 2008). 2004. Hooded Warbler population counts and estimates for southern Ontario in 1988, 1997, 1998, 2002 and 2007 (data from Gartshore 1988; Heagy, Table 2. Hooded Warbler breeding evidence during Ontario Breeding Bird Atlases, 1981-1985 and 2001-2005 (based on Cadman et al. Avian response to removal of a forest dominant: consequences of hemlock woolly adelgid infestations. 140/2005. 2007). 2007. Forest health and diversity across southern Ontario is also compromised due to various native and exotic invasive plants, pests, and diseases (e.g., Scarr et al. The large SWCR site is on provincial Crown land that has recently been regulated as a Conservation Reserve under the Provincial Parks Act. Within its small Canadian range, standardized surveys such as the BBS or OBBA2 point counts result in too few Hooded Warbler detections to provide reliable abundance estimates (Badzinski 2007). The Hooded Warbler is identified as one of 195 species of Continental Importance in the North American Landbird Conservation Plan because 98% of its global population breeds within the Eastern Avifaunal Biome, and that avifaunal region has a very high stewardship responsibility for the conservation of this species (Rich et al. 2007. Hooded Warblers breed in mature deciduous forest with a dense understory of mountain laurel, rhododendron, viburnum, and spicebush up to 3,600 feet. 2011.

Changes in wintering distribution have not been documented. Breeding was first confirmed in 1949, when a nest was found at Springwater Forest, Elgin County (Gartshore 1988; Bodsworth 2004). within 1 m of the ground (Gartshore 1988; Bisson and Stutchbury 1998; Whittam et al. It is highly unlikely that local productivity alone can account for the strong population increase and range expansion in Ontario. 2002; Lacki et al. Collins, and E.H. Dunn. SARA establishes COSEWIC as an advisory body ensuring that species will continue to be assessed under a rigorous and independent scientific process. See Sampling Methods and Effort section for details. Pitcher, D.R. Blackpoll warbler. The Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada (COSEWIC) was created in 1977 as a result of a recommendation at the Federal-Provincial Wildlife Conference held in 1976. Hooded Warblers are common and their populations increased by around 1% per year between 1966 and 2015, according to the North American Breeding Bird Survey. Partners in Flight (2017). 2005). Melles, S.J., M-J. 2011). Counts have also increased in areas east and northeast of Norfolk, particularly in Niagara and Hamilton Regions, but have not increased in other parts of southwestern Ontario, where numbers remain generally low. 2011. No biochemical or genetic studies are available. Version 2010.3. Effects of insecticide-induced reduction in lepidopteran larvae on reproductive success of Hooded Warblers. Couturier (eds.). Conversely, some studies have found that selective logging, insect outbreaks, and severe weather events that open the forest canopy can increase local Hooded Warbler breeding densities (see Breeding Habitat requirements). Fortin, F. Csillag, and K. Lindsay. comm., 2011). Remote Sensing of Environment 107:471-483. American Ornithologists’ Union. Since 1700, the landscape of southern Ontario has undergone radical changes, from a predominantly forested landscape with small amounts of natural openings (prairie, savannah, alvar, open wetlands) and some areas of Aboriginal agriculture, to almost completely forested following the demise of the Aboriginal people upon contact with Europeans, to almost completely deforested by 1900 due to the wholesale removal of the forests by the early settlers (Larson et al. It appears that a greater proportion of the population uses the shorter Gulf of Mexico crossing in spring migration than in fall, and that adults are more likely than immature birds to cross the Gulf in the fall (Chiver et al. During the 2007 Hooded Warbler survey, breeding evidence was reported in an additional 37 cells. Unpublished report for Environment Canada’s Habitat Stewardship Program. However, total seasonal productivity is influenced by whether the nest is parasitized and if the pair produces a second brood. The index of area of occupancy (IAO) was calculated by assigning available geo-referenced breeding evidence data to standard 2 km x 2 km cells. Whittam, R.M., J.D. Although subjective, these assumptions seem reasonable given the extent of known and suitable habitat not checked in 2007, and available population trend information for Ontario (see Fluctuations and trends) and adjacent jurisdictions (see Rescue effect).

The Hooded Warbler is a denizen of thick, shaded, leafy undergrowth in creek and river bottoms in east Texas. 2011). 2007. Version 2.07.2017. Some of the observed increase for this species is attributed to increased survey efficiency and the special Hooded Warbler survey conducted during the OBBA2 period. Females appear to have higher dispersal rates than males (not related to breeding success) but more study is needed (Howlett and Stutchbury 2003; Chiver et al. Gartshore, D. Martin, J.D. 2011). 60 pp. It arose from the need for a single, official, scientifically sound, national listing of wildlife species at risk. The Canadian population constitutes less than 1% of the global Hooded Warbler population, which was estimated to be approximately 4,000,000 birds based on BBS data from the 1990s (Rich et al. and B.J. Stutchbury. 2007). 1997. You will not receive a reply. 2005. They are generally solitary on the breeding and wintering grounds, but they may join mixed-species flocks that pass through areas on the wintering grounds. * Formerly described as “Vulnerable” from 1990 to 1999, or “Rare” prior to 1990.

Food supply and parental feeding rates of Hooded Warbler in forest fragments. There are often other warbler photography opportunities too at the breeding grounds, like for Kirtland’s Warbler and Blue-winged Warblers in Michigan for example. These ranks are being revised to N4B and S4B (Apparently Secure) to reflect current abundance and distribution and increasing population trend (D.A. Landscape ecology of birds breeding in temperate forest fragments. The 2002 southern Ontario Hooded Warbler/Acadian Flycatcher survey. Not all routes have been surveyed continuously for the entire period. 37-42 in Bird of Elgin County: a century of change. Sorenson, J.L. Kyser, and L.M. Scientific Name: Setophaga citrina (Boddaert 1783), French Name: Paruline à capuchons Class: Aves. Population counts for this species are confounded by increases in search effort and efficiency over time but the population has at least doubled over the past decade. There are many environmental factors operating in concert at various scales that influence the status of the Hooded Warbler in Canada including habitat conditions (e.g., quality, quantity, and connectivity), biotic processes (e.g., productivity, survivorship and dispersal, social behaviour), and climate conditions (e.g., heat units, temperature extremes, precipitation, etc.). ** Formerly described as “Not In Any Category”, or “No Designation Required.”. Wilson Bulletin 114:122-127. Stutchbury. Cornell Lab of Ornithology. Andrew Couturier of Bird Studies Canada provided the map used in Figure 2. 2011). Another water body that provided me with some excellent views of warblers was the Haw River. Brood parasitism rates in Ontario are intermediate. The continental Hooded Warbler breeding population is considered adequately monitored by the BBS (Rich et al. 2011). The total global breeding range (extent of occurrence) is approximately 2,000,000 km², while the total global wintering range is much smaller at approximately 750,000 km² (derived from Ridgeley et al. 2004. Woodsworth, B.T. Royal Ontario Museum, Toronto, ON. Slate Creek Press, Bolinas, CA. Bird Studies Canada, Port Rowan, ON. Efforts to model Hooded Warbler habitat in Ontario at a landscape scale using satellite imagery have had limited success because the coarse spatial and temporal resolution of the Landsat images are not well suited to identifying the specific fine-grained habitat requirements of this species (Pither 1997; Flaxman 2004; Pasher et al. Social factors (e.g., proximity to other birds) appear to influence both nest site selection and territory location within and among sites (Melles et al. Moore, T.K. “We almost always see hooded warblers in the same area of the forest and I try to take photos of them.” Fleischer. Seasonal diets of insectivorous birds using canopy gaps in a bottomland forest. This species is considered a “gap specialist” as nest sites are consistently associated with canopy gaps with a high density of shrubs (Chiver et al. Definition of the (DD) category revised in 2006. A few males are polygynous and have two females, and a variable proportion of territorial males remain unmated. Cadman, P. Carson, K. Elliott, M.E. Fledgling care and male parental effort in the Hooded Warbler (Wilsonia citrina). Second clutches are typically smaller than first clutches. Ottawa. 2011). Its breeding distribution at the northern periphery of the range is patchy. Are there extreme fluctuations in index of area of occupancy? The North American Breeding Bird Survey (BBS) is a volunteer-based program designed to monitor trends in breeding bird populations (Sauer et al. Population counts and estimates for the Hooded Warbler in Canada, Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada, Wild Species 2005: The General Status of Species in Canada, NatureServe Explorer: An Online Encyclopedia of Life, Ontario Ministry of Muncipal Affairs and Housing, Generation time (usually average age of parents in the population). Cadman, M.D., P.F.J. Breeds in forest interiors of mixed hardwoods in the north and cypress-gum swamps in the south. BBS population trends for Pennsylvania and Ohio, respectively, are 3.9 and 6.1%/yr for 1966-2009, and 4.4 and 6.4%/yr for 1999-2009 and are statistically significant (Sauer et al. data). Status re-examined and designated Not at Risk in May 2012. This species is detected regularly in small numbers on migration (particularly in spring) at birding hotspots and at banding stations in southern Ontario, including Point Pelee National Park and Long Point Bird Observatory (LPBO). Audrey Heagy and Debra Badzinski work for Bird Studies Canada (BSC), a non-profit, non-governmental bird research organization with headquarters in Port Rowan, Ontario. COSEWIC. Cadman, B.A. like most warblers - will be most visible over the spring/fall migration periods (May/June and September/October) even during migration will favor dense forest understory and forest edge brush; Hooded Warbler Behavior (What to look for) frequently twitches tail and exposes white outer tail feathers Blackburnian warbler. Occupancy of small forest tracts may be ephemeral or intermittent. Wildlife species 14pp. plus appendices. 151 pp. Species at Risk Act, Statutes of Canada 2002, Chapter 29. http://laws.justice.gc.ca/en/s-15.3/text.html. To date there has been no evidence of Hooded Warblers nesting in the vicinity of Kingston or Prince Edward County in southeastern Ontario (T. Sprague pers. 1999. 2002; Eng 2007; Walters and Nol 2011; BSCunpub. 2007. Beck, D. Lepage, and A.R. Ziolkowski, Jr, and W. A. Females often wrap dead leaves around the bottom of the nest cup as well, making the nest look like a clump of dead leaves. 2017. SARA prohibits harming or possessing a listed species, or damaging its residence or critical habitat. : A Framework for Guiding Habitat Rehabilitation in Great Lakes Areas of Concern, Second Edition. BBS data have been used to calculate population estimates and population trends at various geographic scales (Rich et al. Nesting habitat typically becomes suitable a few years after formation of a canopy gap and can remain suitable for several years until the canopy gap closes in again, though there appears to be considerable variation in the timing of gap colonization and abandonment (Gartshore 1988; Robinson and Robinson 1999; Whittam et al. 1981-1985 and 2001-2005 ( based on Cadman et al territories reported in 2007 is almost five the...
