Blackpoll Warbler Brooklyn Bridge Park, Pier 6

Longing Think of the blackpoll warbler. She tips the scales at one ounce before she migrates, taking off from the seacoast to our east flying higher and higher ascending two or three miles during her eighty hours of flight until she lands, in Tobago, north of Venezuela three days older, and weighing half as much. She flies over open ocean almost the whole way. Oh she is not so different from us. The arc of our lives is a mystery too. We do not understand, we cannot see what guides us on our way: that longing that pulls us toward light. Not knowing, we fly onward hearing the dull roar of the waves below. by Julie Cadwallader Staub

Warbler Showdown pt2; Bracket 2, Poll 4

Blackpoll Warbler (Setophaga striata)

IUCN Rating: Near Threatened

Range: breeds in Northern Canada and Alaska and overwinters in Brazil - for note, this makes their migration the longest for any member of Parulidae.

Habitat: in Canada, found in boreal black spruce and tamarack forests. Much less picky when overwintering, found in many different wooded habitats (deciduous, rain, cloud, mangrove, and gallery forests), as well as forest edges, second growth, and coffee plantations.

Subspecies: none

Yellow Warbler (Setophaga petechia)

IUCN Rating: Least Concern

Range: almost the entire continent of North America, save the locals of Nunavut, northern Quebec, and Greenland. Only migrates through the southern US states, and overwinters from southern Mexico all the way to Northern Brazil.

Habitat: breeds in wet, deciduous thicket, especially those with willows. While overwintering, uses a variety of wooded and scrubby habitats, as well as mangroves.

Subspecies: 9*; Mangrove Warbler could be split out as its own species

Dc Wing AU (incomplete)

So a while ago I read this fanfic where the Batfam had wings based off of what people thought about them, and since then I’ve been obsessing over what wing types multiple characters would have(not just in DC). Idk if anyone really cares but I’m still posting it here since there has to be someone with the same weird interests as me.

First up, the Batfam:

For Bruce, Dick, Jason, Tim, and Damian it’s the same as the fic I read(I’ll link it at the end).

Bruce was a Snowy owl (protection, new beginnings, change, purity, innocence), Dick was a Blue Jay (Loyalty, communication, joy, adaptability, protection), Jason as a Red-Winged blackbird (good luck, abundance, prosperity, protection, danger ahead), Tim as a Northern Cardinal (vitality, family stability, renewal, strength, the passing of a loved one), and Damian as a Scarlet Macaw (guardians, healing, good fortune, maturity, growth, foresight).

After reading the fic I then did some research and figured out what wings the rest of the Batfam would have(not completed yet, there are to many of them)

Cassandra: Black-winged snow finch- a lower classification of a sparrow(protection, hope, joy, loyalty, renewal)

Stephanie: Purple Martin- members of the swallow family(hope, love, renewal, loyalty, family, freedom, good fortune, transformation, protection, success or failure in life)

Barbara: Blackpoll Warbler (resilience, flexibility, overcoming challenges with grace and perseverance)

Duke: Eastern Bluebird(hope, positivity, love, and associated with joy, happiness, and harmony)

Alfred: Demoiselle Crane (good fortune, longevity, love, happiness, honor, loyalty)

Selina: Gray Catbird (adaptability, resourcefulness, mystery, good luck, harmony)

Warbler Showdown; Bracket 2, Poll 1

Pine Warbler (Setophaga pinus)

IUCN Rating: Least Concern

Range: Eastern US and Canada, though it concentrates in the southern portion of the Providences. A resident in the southern US, the northern breeders will join their southern population to overwinter.

Habitat: Almost exclusively pine or pine-hardwood forests, as the name infers. They also seem to prefer a sparse understory, though the composition doesn't seem to matter as much.

Blackpoll Warbler (Setophaga striata)

IUCN Rating: Near Threatened

Range: breeds in Northern Canada and Alaska and overwinters in Brazil - for note, this makes their migration the longest for any member of Parulidae.

Habitat: in Canada, found in boreal black spruce and tamarack forests. Much less picky when overwintering, found in many different wooded habitats (deciduous, rain, cloud, mangrove, and gallery forests), as well as forest edges, second growth, and coffee plantations.

The Brooks Range is essential for the Alaska Native peoples who live, hunt, and fish in Northwest Alaska. It's home to the world's only remaining populations of migrating caribou, and dozens of migratory and boreal bird species, from Blackpoll Warblers to Arctic Loons. The Ambler Road proposal puts the Brooks Range and everything within it at risk. If built, this will not be a simple road, but a 211-mile industrial corridor that would threaten North America's largest protected and roadless region, as well as the food security and clean water of Alaska Native Tribes. It will cut through 1,200 river crossings, thousands of acres of wetlands, and migration pathways.
