Where to find:

In Maryland, Golden-winged Warblers breed in brushy, cut-over oak-hickory and mixed-mesophytic habitats and bog forests. During migration, they are found in various kinds of forest, although they are usually most numerous in flood-plain and swamp forests (Stewart and Robbins, 1958).

Relationships:

Where their ranges overlap, the Golden-winged Warbler hybridizes with the closely related species, Blue-winged Warbler. Resulting hybrids are Brewster's Warbler and Lawrence's Warbler.

There are 106 records in the project database.
