Introduction

Much information was contributed from the collaborative research of the Golden-winged Warbler Working Group supported by a series of National Fish and Wildlife Research Grants and compiled particularly by S. Swarthout and D. Buehler. Much information on the range-wide distribution came from the Golden-winged Warbler Atlas Project of the Laboratory of Ornithology and was compiled by many. We thank the following for contributing unpublished data and historical records to the account: R. Adams, M. Alessi, J. Castrale, R. Domalgalski, B. Ehresman, J. McCormac, M. I. Moreno, J. Larkin, and W. Vanderschuit,

Financial support for JLC came from several sources: National Science Foundation-Research Opportunity Award supplement to BSR-8817950 by H. R. Pulliam and J. B. Dunning; National Science Foundation Mid-Career Fellowship BSR-9103708; National Science Foundation-Research at Undergraduate Institutes grant; National Geographic Research grant; a Lowey-Mohonk Fellowship; two grants from the Max McGraw Foundation; two New York State Wildlife Grants and funding from the New York Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation; and funds from Ithaca College.

Financial support for PJH came from a research grant from Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources and the Lyman T. Johnson Fellowship from the University of Kentucky.

The New York Office of Parks, Recreation and Historical Preservation in the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation provided many services including the personal efforts of T. Lyons, J. Gallagher, J. Hutchinson, and P. Novak.
