Adult male Bachman's Warbler, Charleston, SC, May 1958.
This photo was taken roughly four years before the last confirmed sightings of this species in the same region in 1962. Reports of this species on migration since the 1970s offer some hope that it may still exist, but most authorities now consider it extinct. It specialized in scrubby habitats in bottomland forests throughout the Southeast, and disappeared most likely due to habitat loss, both on its breeding grounds in the United States, and its winter grounds in Cuba. Adult males have a black bib with a yellow chin and forehead, unique among warblers. All show a distinctly thin, decurved bill.; photographer Various
I'On Swamp, Francis Marion NF, SC, 28 March.
The I'On Swamp in coastal South Carolina was the last known stronghold for this species through about 1953. Little is known about the habitat requirements of this species, and it is thought that it may have been a cane specialist, requiring small openings in mature bottomland forest with dense thickets.The following is a link to this photographer's website: http://www.flickr.com/photos/scg3/.
Cedar Creek, Congaree National Park, SC, 15 September.
Bachman's Warblers were thought to occupy thickets in openings of mature bottomland forests, such as this one in South Carolina. The following is a link to this photographer's website: http://www.flickr.com/photos/billy3001/.
