Bachman's Warbler
Bachman's Warbler (Vermivora bachmanii) was a small passerine bird that inhabited the swamps and lowland forests of the southeast United States. This warbler was a migrant, wintering in Cuba.
Bachman's Warbler is presumed extinct, and was most likely never common. The last confirmed sightings were in 1961 in South Carolina. Habitat destruction was probably the main cause of its disappearance.
This bird was discovered in 1832 by John James Audubon, who named it after his friend and collaborator, the Reverend John Bachman.
