Greetings fellow birders and eBirders,
Mark LaBarr here from Audubon Vermont looking for sightings of Golden-winged and Blue-winged warblers and their hybrids. This is part of an expanding effort to work with land trusts and the Cornell Land Trust Bird Initiative, The Golden-chain Collaborative https://www.birds.cornell.edu/landtrust/golden-chain-collaborative-2025/ . I am reaching out to inform folks that I have created a new eBird Group account for folks to share their eBird checklists, Golden-Chain. By sharing your checklists you will help us monitor winged-warbler use of these sites, identify locations to focus potential future projects and learn more about the dynamics of Golden-wings, Blue-wings and their hybrids. All sightings are welcome but some public land trust locations we are particularly interested in are the Charlotte Park and Wildlife Refuge, The Helen W. Buckner Preserve, Wright Park, Hurd Grasslands and UVM's Carse Natural Area. Thanks for your support. Mark
