Palm Warbler
Despite its tropical sounding name, the Palm Warbler lives farther north than most other warblers.
It breeds far to the north in Canada, and winters in the southern United States and the northern Caribbean.
This guy was very attentive when the shadow of a flying Turkey Vulture shot across the grass and covered it.
In winter their diet changes from insects to seeds and fruits.
This species is found in two different forms. Birds that breed in the western part of their range are duller, and have whitish bellies.
Those breeding in the eastern part of their range are entirely yellow underneath.
This species is most easily recognized by the tail-wagging habit that shows off its yellow undertail.
