Hi All-- Years ago I banded a Nashville Warbler in the summer in Aberdeen, South Dakota. This is also south of their breeding range. Our neighbor let a corner of his huge backyard go to tall weeds. This bird had a well-developed brood patch, and I believe it may have bred nearby. After the neighbor "cleaned up" his yard, I did not band Nashvilles in the summer.
