"Wilma on the Wing" is short children's book that I wrote and illustrated in collaboration with the Intermountain Bird Observatory with the purpose of creating an accessible and engaging way to teach children about migration and bird banding. The story follows and adult female Wilson's Warbler, Wilma, on her migratory journey from Alaska to Mexico where she encounters competition, predation, and being caught and banded at a research station. She is based off of an actual Wilson's Warbler first banded in Denali National Park, Alaska, USA and then recaught just weeks later at Camas National Wildlife Refuge in Hamer, Idaho, USA. We have also translated this book into Spanish!
