Description

Migrating warblers are heading back to our backyards and patches, and included among that wonderful diversity come the weirdo "winged" warblers, Golden and Blue, whose intermixed genetics have long been fascinating and confusing. We welcome Nick Block, professor of biology at Stonehill College in Massachusetts, as well as Matt Hale, professor of biology at Texas Christian University in Fort Worth, the authors of an article covering the current state of winged warblers, published in the most recent issue of North American Birds to talk about them.

Also, a Cuban dove is now the poster-bird for ancient biogeography.
