| The
Cerulean Warbler, a Neotropical migratory
bird of high conservation concern, is experiencing population declines in parts of its
range. Due to the Ceruleans low population density and patchy distributions accurate
population trends are difficult to estimate, therefore, in order to adequately protect
this species more information is needed about its habitat requirements, breeding biology,
and population status. In order to to determine the number of breeding pairs and productivity, describe
nesting habitat, and identify potential threats to the population and its habitat, the Cerulean Warbler Atlas Project (CEWAP)
employed enthusiastic birders and biologists to survey known and potential Cerulean
Warbler breeding sites from 1997 to 2000.
Results from CEWAP will be used to produce management
guidelines for Cerulean Warblers. As of December 2000 you can download the final
report, "An Atlas of Cerulean Warbler
Populations."
