Episode Information
Wilson's Warbler II - Wintering in Belize
Aired:
12/05/2009
In early September, the tiny Wilson’s Warbler began its long migration to Belize, where it winters. Navigating by the stars, the ¼-ounce bird made a series of night flights spanning more than 2500 miles. This warbler returns to the same coffee plantation each year. Taller trees that shade the coffee are a winter home for many migrants from North America. By buying shade-grown coffee, you can help migratory birds, including the Wilson’s Warbler.
