		Hermit Warblers are most often found in mature coniferous forests, from sea level to the mountains.
		Hermit Warblers require specialized habitat, and that habitat (mature coniferous forest) is at risk from logging within their range.
		Hermit Warblers are common from mid-April to early August in the southern Cascades and southeastern Olympic Mountains.

	Hermit Warbler (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		Hermit Warbler: Three to five creamy-white eggs, speckled and wreathed with light brown markings, are laid in a neat shallow cup nest of rootlets, bark, and pine needles, "saddled" on a conifer branch, usually 20-40' (6-12 m) high, but occasionally near the ground.
		Hermit Warbler: This bird spends most of the time actively foraging high in trees and males tend to forage higher than females.
		Hermit Warbler: Similar is Townsend's Warbler, which has fl to dusky ear patches outlined by a yellow face and fl streaking on the breast.

	Audubon WatchList - Hermit Warbler
		Although population trends for this species appear to be stable, Hermit Warblers are considered a conservation priority because of their habitat specialization, their limited breeding range in California, Oregon, and Washington, and the continued threat of large-scale logging in that area.
		Hermit Warblers have a relatively limited breeding range confined to the Coast, and the Cascade and Sierra Nevada mountain ranges of Washington, Oregon, and California.
		On their breeding grounds, Hermit Warblers are birds of coniferous forests; they prefer cool, wet fir forests at elevation, and moist forests of Douglas-fir, hemlock, and western redcedar closer to sea level.

		Townsend's Warblers might be confused with Hermit Warblers, with which they have been known to hybridize, but the Townsend's fl auriculars (cheek patches) and yellow breast should help to distinguish it from the Hermit, as well as the Black-throated Green and the Golden-cheeked.
		The Townsend's Warbler does not actually breed in California; for that it flies north to south-coastal Alaska and east to the southwestern Yukon, and down throughout British Columbia and southwestern Alberta, westernmost Montana, northern Idaho, northeast Oregon, and Washington.

		A Townsend's warbler is a small songbird with yellow and fl streaking on the sides and a dark crown, throat and upper breast.
		A hermit warbler has a yellow head and a dark chin and throat, but its dark feathers are much less dominant and its appearance is less striking.

	Black-throated Gray Warbler
		Warblers as a family are primarily green, but many are patterned with fl, white, yellow, and sometimes red or blue - truly the "butterflies of the bird world." Their bills are slender and sharp pointed.
		The diagnostic song of Townsend's Warbler is a buzzy: "dzeer dzeer dzeer," followed by a sibilant "see-see." The buzzy, single-syllable notes at the beginning of the song are different from the remaining two warblers.
		The diagnostic song of Hermit Warbler ends with two emphatic chipping notes: "sweeter-sweeter-sweeter, chip' chip'." Sometimes, though, this song is preceded by first a slow trill, then a shorter fast trill.

	Hermit X Townsend's Warbler, Jones Beach 2002 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		It's worth noting that Hermit is very, very rare this far East (there is no Hermit Warbler record in NY State) and the easternmost populations of Hermit are precisely those that overlap with Townsend's Warbler and which could generate hybrids.
		I personally think there's enough indications of Townsend's Warbler in it's background to mark it as a Hermit X Townsend's hybrid, however I'm not going to start an argument with anyone that has seen the bird and is comfortable with it being an aberrant Hermit.
		Analysis of a collection of Hermit Warblers at the American Museum of Natural History by Joe DiCostanzo and Tom Burke led them to the conclusion that this was probably a hybrid.

	THE INCIDENCE OF VAGRANT LANDBIRDS ON NOVA SCOTIAN ISLANDS (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		Accordingly, I examined weather maps on the 3 days prior to the dates of the five earliest occurrences on the islands, on the assumption that such birds were more likely to have come most recently and directly from their normal ranges to the southwest.
		The western Dendroica warblers are of interest, because six of eight individuals on the islands occurred in spring.
		DeSante (1973) concluded that the high frequencies of some eastern wood warblers in coastal California in fall is because they are prone to "mirror-image orientation." Instead of migrating normally to the left of a north- south axis of reference, they deviate by the same angle to the right and end up in California.

	NYSARC Report for 2002
		This is the plumage that Sibley (2000) attributes to ‘typical hybrids;’ it is a combination described as frequent by Dunn and Garrett (1997) and by Eckert (2001); and it is consistent with an intermediate score on Rohwer and Wood’s (1998) quantitative hybrid index.
		This situation is similar in many ways to the hybridization of Blue-winged and Golden-winged Warblers that occurs in NYS and elsewhere in the Northeast, which produces a variety of plumage combinations that are impossible to attribute uniquely to particular parental combinations (Parkes 1951).
		In conclusion, although the Jones Beach warbler could possibly have been an unusual variant Hermit Warbler, the Committee concluded that a hybrid origin was more likely and certainly could not be ruled out, and thus acceptance of this bird as NYS’ first Hermit Warbler proved impossible.

		Newswise — A songbird species known as the Townsend's warbler, which lives in the damp Douglas fir forests of Western North America, has been steadily displacing its more timid sister species, the hermit warbler, for thousands of years.
		That corresponds with previous research, which found that in places once inhabited by hermits and now populated only by Townsend's – large parts of Washington, British Columbia and Alaska – the existing birds carry genetic evidence that hermits once interbred with Townsend's.

	AUTUMN POPULATIONS OF LANDBIRDS ALONG CENTRAL COASTAL CALIFORNIA 1976-1986 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		About 38% of birds were long-distance migrants wintering at Palo- marin, 32% were long-distance migrants to the tropics, 10% were per- manent residents, 10% were residents with a winter influx, 6% were short-distance migrants found primarily in the summer, and 4% were short-distance migrants found primarily in the winter (Table 3).
		For the common taxa with a low percentage of UN birds, the lowest young:adult ratio of 1.53:1 was shown by the House Finch, followed by "Audubon's" Warbler (young: adult = 1.71:1); the highest was shown by the Western Flycatcher (young: adult = 60.88:1) followed by Hermit Thrust (young: adult = 44.72:1).
		Differences between the maxi- mum and minimum years for young' adult ratios were at least double for nearly all comparable common species (24 of 26), more than five times for the majority (16 of 26), and more than 10 times for some (eight of 26).
