This link was sent to me by Michel Gosselin of the national museum. A
number of people have known about this nesting record since July. I'm
not sure why it's been kept quiet for so long. A singing male
Kirtland's Warbler was at Petawawa in the mid-1970s and another
singing male not far away in southern Quebec. The original Petawawa
Jack Pine habitat was much like Michigan's. They were reported to be
fairly common (many singing males) at Petawawa during the First World
War, but no nest was found. The Petawawa Jack Pine sand plain is just
west of Pembroke between the Ottawa River and Algonquin Park.
Algonquin Park around Lake Travers has potential Kirtland's habitat too.
