The Bay-breasted Warbler takes a flight path each year from the eastern half of North America to Cuba, the Caribbean, and South America. Their population is tied to its primary food source, the spruce budworm, and goes up and down with the insect population. This is a single plate etching hand-colored with transparent watercolors showing the bird life size.
