		Other North American songbirds that migrate to tropical areas have declined as well. These birds, known as neotropical migrants, include tanagers, orioles, warblers, thrushes and vireos. These colorful birds brighten our forests and orchards, consume harmful insects and play important ecological roles. Almost all are in decline, some far more precipitously than others.
