North America has ninety species of wood-warblers in twenty-six genera; included in this family are the yellowthroats, a seemingly dizzying array of warblers, and the waterthrushes. �UU��s^���i��/��� reG�~��D� "seet-seet-seet-seet-seet-seet-seet-seet". Most species of wood-warblers are long distance migrants to Central and South America. The blackpoll warbler is a fairly small bird which attains the weight of a ball point pen. document.write(unescape("%3Cscript src='" + gaJsHost + "google-analytics.com/ga.js' type='text/javascript'%3E%3C/script%3E"));
The species appears to be quite a generalist, preying on a great diversity of adult and larval insects and spiders. They lay 3–5 eggs in a cup-shaped nest, rarely up to 9.
Throughout most of the breeding range, the Blackpoll Warbler is largely unaffected by habitat degradation due to the remoteness of their nests.

This includes boreal forests in Alaska, much of Canada, and some parts of northern New England. Some birds, often with lower body weights, do not make it. Grouse?
