Taking the reader from the mountains of Ap-palachia to a coffee plantation near Bogot,Colombia, this investigation into the plight ofthe cerulean warblera tiny migratory song-birddescribes its struggle to survive in ever-shrinking bands of suitable habitat. This elusivecreature which is a favorite among bird watch-ers and the fastest-declining warbler species inthe United States, has lost three percent of itstotal population each year since 1966. This pre-cipitous decline means that today there are 80percent fewer ceruleans than 40 years ago,and their numbers continue to drop because ofthreats including deforestation, global warming,and mountaintop-removal coal mining. Withscientific rigor and a sense of wonder, Falloncharts their path across more than 2,000 milesand shows how the fate of a creature weighingless than an ounce is vitally linked to that ofhuman beings.



Jonathan Franzen uses the cerulean

warbler as a plot device in his 2010novel, Freedom

The breeding habitat of the ceruleanwarbler is in the mature, deciduousforests of eastern North America.
