Daytime sleeping behavior observed in a Black-and-white Warbler during spring stopover

Daytime sleeping behavior observed in a Black-and-white Warbler during spring stopover

Nocturnally migrating birds experience loss of sleep during the migratory period especially when undertaking long, non-stop flights. We report a field observation of daytime sleeping behavior in a Black-andwhite Warbler (Mniotilta varia) during spring migration. It is likely that this individual was...
