“…Perhaps more than any species, the decline of fire has been directly linked to the decline of the endangered Kirtland's warbler (Setophaga kirtlandii ) (hereafter KIWA). The KIWA nests in just two relatively small locations, one in lower Michigan (Mayfield 1960, Confer andKnapp 1981) and one in central Wisconsin (Anich et al 2011). Like Confer and Knapp (1981) in Michigan, we find the KIWA's dependence on fire strikingly similar to that of the GWWA.…”

“…Kirtland's Warblers at Garrison Petawawa were observed in young forest stands (mean = 14.8 yr), and other investigators have also reported that these warblers typically occupy jack pine stands between 5 and 23 yr old (Mayfield , Walkinshaw , Probst , , Probst and Weinrich ), as well as red pine‐dominated stands 11 to 13 yr old (Anich et al ). Tree age is correlated with tree height (Plonski ), and Kirtland's Warblers do not occupy stands until trees are 1.4 – 2.3 m high (5 to 13 yr) and abandon stands when trees reach 3.8 m and the height of living lower branches is ∼1 m (Byelich et al , Probst and Weinrich ).…”

“…Typical Kirtland's Warbler habitat in the core of the species range in Michigan's Lower Peninsula is homogeneous stands of 6-23-yearold Jack Pine that have regenerated after wildfire or that have been planted and managed specifically for Kirtland's Warbler (Walkinshaw 1983;Kashian et al 2003;Donner et al 2008). However, Kirtland's Warblers have also been reported nesting in Red Pinedominated plantations in Wisconsin (Anich et al 2011) and in mixed Jack Pine-Red Pine stands at Garrison Petawawa in Ontario (Richard 2013). The Kirtland's Warbler also prefers dense stands (stem densities > 2500 stems/ha) for nesting (Probst and Weinrich 1993), a condition that the Algoma East location did satisfy (> 2700 stems/ha).…”

“…Kirtland's Warbler is a habitat specialist; during its breeding season, it prefers extensive tracts of young, densely stocked Jack Pine (Pinus banksiana) growing on well-drained sandy soils (Mayfield 1960;Walkinshaw 1983). The species also occasionally nests in stands dominated by Red Pine (Pinus resinosa), provided there is a Jack Pine component (Probst and Weinrich 1993;Anich et al 2011;Richard 2013).…”
