Bachman's warbler (Vermivora bachmanii) is an extinct passerine migratory bird.[3] This warbler was a migrant, breeding in swampy blackberry and cane thickets of the Southeastern and Midwestern United States and wintering in Cuba. There are some reports of the bird from the twenty-first century, but none are widely accepted. Some authorities accept a Louisiana sighting in August 1988 as confirmed,[4] but the last uncontroversial sightings date to the 1960s.
