The Kirtland’s Warbler is a globally rare bird, endangered in Ontario and Canada, that breeds only in young pine-oak communities. Although always rare, the Kirtland’s Warbler was reduced to less than 500 individuals in the 1970s-80s due to a loss of suitable habitat. Despite successful repopulation programs in the US, the Kirtland’s Warbler remains in jeopardy in Ontario.
