EASTERN ORANGE-CROWNED WARBLER 



HABITS 



The type race of the orange-crowned warbler makes its summer home 

 in northwestern Canada and Alaska, from northern Manitoba to the 

 Kowak River, migrating in the fall southeastward through the United 

 States to its winter range in the southern Atlantic States and Gulf 

 States, from South Carolina and Florida to Louisiana. It was dis-

 only 10 records for Buckeye Lake, 5 in spring and 5 in fall. "Eight
