The USFWS is entering into the process that may lead to listing the
Golden-winged Warbler as threatened or endangered.
Golden-winged Warbler is one of a group of species that could be called the
"poster children" of declining bird species. Due to changes in habitat,
forest succession, forest management policies, climate change factors, and
potentially from a list of hazards that these birds encounter during
migration, this species is at risk in WI and elsewhere. The decline has
been noticeable for some time. It is considered a Species of Greatest
Conservation Need (SGCN) in Wisconsin. Find out more at this link:

From the USFWS: "The Service will undertake a more thorough status review
of the species to
determine whether to propose adding the species to the federal lists of
endangered and threatened wildlife and plants. Today's decision, known as a
90-day finding, is based on scientific information about the species
provided in the petition asking the Service
to list the warbler. The petition finding is the first step in a process
that triggers a more thorough review of all the biological information
available."
