ABSTRACT.—We examined stopover site fidelity 
by Tennessee Warblers (Oreothlypis peregrina) at two 
Tennessee handing stations (Whigg Meadow and Big 
Bald) operated during fall migration. —1.000 km trom 
the nearest breeding areas. We captured and bandd 
4.324 Tennessee Warblers at Whigg Meadow from 
1999 to 2008 with 14 individuals (0.3%) recaptured in 
subsequent years. We banded 5.514 Tennessee War¬ 
blers at Big Bald from 2003 to 2008 where, despite 
relatively close geographical proximity to Whig? 
Meadow (< 150 km between sites), no individuals were 
recaptured outside of the initial capture year. The* 
inter-annual recaptures, to our knowledge, reflect the 
highest reoccurrence of a Nearctic-neotropical migraion
