    Nashville Warbler / Leiothlypis ruficapilla

    : Breeds. early May-mid Jul in mature and second growth woodlands with birch and/or aspen. The Cadillac Summit Road is a good place to hear and see Nashvilles as is the edge of the Big Heath.

    : early-late May with a peak mid May and from late Apr, and again mid Aug-early Oct with a peak early Sep and outliers to mid Nov, in deciduous and mixed woodlands and places where migrants concentrate.

    Miscellany: There are two disjunct and modestly distinct populations of Nashville Warbler, one mostly east of the Mississippi and the other in the Pacific Northwest. Some feel they are separate species.
