Locations of black-throated blue warblers banded as nestlings in the Nantahala National Forest, North Carolina, USA. From 2002 to 2022, 2072 nestling black-throated blue warblers were banded and released, of which 19 were recaptured as second-year birds. White squares represent the total number of nestlings banded in each grid cell. Blue boxes show the number of nestlings that were recaptured as second-year birds in that grid cell. Nestlings recaptured as after-second-year birds are not included in the figure. Some study plots span more than one grid cell. The background color depicts climate, represented as the dominant principal component of precipitation and temperature normals. Contour lines depict elevation in meters.The inset shows the breeding range of the black-throated blue warbler in green, with a star marking the study site location
