Setophaga kirtlandii
Kirtland's Warbler is a rare and endangered species that was thought to not breed in Wisconsin anymore but was found in a few areas that had stands of Jack Pine.
Kirtland's Warblers are found almost exclusively in stands of Jack Pine. Because Jack Pine are dependent on forest fires to regenerate, and there is a strong desire to limit forest fires, it's an uncommon habitat
The location identified for these photographs is not particularly accurate as these birds are in danger of having their breeding success interrupted by the presence of large numbers of people.
