Description

This wildlife status report looks at the Canada warbler, a medium-sized migrant songbird whose northern and western breeding limits include the northern part of Alberta in the Boreal Forest and Foothills natural regions. The Canada warbler is designated as Sensitive in Alberta due its low numbers in the province and its vulnerability to loss of old-growth deciduous forest habitat. This report is part of the Alberta Wildlife Status Report series, which provides comprehensive summaries of selected wildlife species intended to be useful to those managing populations of species and their habitats, and to help identify species that may be formally designated as endangered or threatened.

Description

In Alberta, the black-throated green warbler has been designated a Species of Special Concern, and the bay-breasted warbler and Cape May warbler have been recommended for Species of Special Concern status due to perceived population declines and projected future habitat loss. All three species are neotropical migrants that breed in the Canadian boreal forest. This plan provides background information on the warblers and outlines a set of objectives and management actions to help meet the goal of maintaining breeding populations of all three species throughout their historical range in Alberta. Conservation management plans are developed for Species of Special Concern in Alberta, to provide guidance for land and resource management decisions that affect the species and their habitat. They are intended to be a resource tool for provincial and regional fish and wildlife, land and resource management staff.
