Wilson’s Warbler near Summer’s End

By early August, the rich yellow of the feathers of the Wilson's Warbler seems to flash in every forest thicket. Despite predators and weather, many pairs of adults have raised four young, which now flit about on their own. The young males hatched this spring learned their father's songs this summer. Next spring, they, too, will sing those songs. By buying shade-grown coffee, you can help preserve the wintering grounds of this bird and many others.
