Abstract:Migration of wood warblers was examined in southern Nevada. Definite patterns are evident with spring migration concentrated in the lowlands and fall migration in the lowlands and mountains with some species present in one but not the other. Lowland fall migration occurs after the late summer heat. It is suggested that some species are incapable of withstanding the extreme heat of the desert in early fall.
