Kirtland's Warbler (Eleuthera, Bahamas)





The summer home of the rare Kirtland's Warbler was recently discovered to be an island in the Bahamas. Bob and Mary Salomon captured glimpses of this endangered bird in a brief video recorded on the island of Eleuthera where the bird prefers scrub 4-6 feet tall. Eight individuals were spotted in about an hour. The video of this elusive warbler captures a song from one bird foraging in the scrub and chips from an agitated individual on a high perch (pictured at the left).
