A Kirtland’s warbler or Jack pine warbler (Setophaga kirtlandii) near Mio, Michigan. This bird was on the brink of extinction in the late 1960’s, but has been brought back to a small but stable population thanks to intensive replanting of juvenile jack pine forests, on which the bird depends for breeding.
