Catching a Golden-winged Warbler sounds like a mythical quest. The tiny bird is quite real, though, and a number of researchers track the species. The warblers migrate from the North Woods of the Midwest to Central America every year, and researchers put bands on the legs of a handful to keep tabs on them. Now, for the first time, the same Golden-winged Warbler has been caught at both a migration hotspot and in his wintering grounds.
