Our list of super colliders at communication towers should have included Swainson’s warbler (Parulidae: “Limnothlypis swainsonii”) at the top of the list (n = 336 documented mortalities, estimated population size = 84,000, residual = 2.59, risk multiplier = 387, long distance nocturnal migrant, population trend +0.5% per year). This correction does not alter any of our conclusions, but it is potentially important to Swainson’s warbler conservation given modest population size for this species.
