Warbler Guy, what are occurrence maps? Do warbler occurrence maps exist?

Yes, Carli, Occurrence Maps are present for many North American birds.

(See: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/about/occurrence-maps/occurrence-maps)

As a tool to display the abundance of a species at any given time during the year, these representations
are called STEM (Spatio-Temporal Exploratory Model) maps that address species' occurrences in the Lower 48 states. 


(Prothonotary Warbler Occurrence Map, above; if its functionality does not work for you at this site, then go to the above site in line two and click on "Prothonotary Warbler")
For each species depicted, its migration patterns are accounted for along with its breeding range.

Additional details are necessary to fully explain the Occurrence Maps and STEM.

For now, suffice to say that Occurrence Maps may be a tool you wish to add to your repertoire when identifying wood-warblers.
