Fortunately, local researchers have been well aware of the dire need to learn about this species so it can be adequately protected. Past Birdathons organized by Paz and Ernesto have greatly helped research on migratory behavior of Cerulean and Golden-winged Warblers as well as field work with the Cabanis’s Ground-Sparrow.
