Palm Warbler (Setophaga palmarum)
About the Palm Warbler
The palm warbler (Setophaga palmarum) is a small songbird in the New World warbler family. Measurements: Length: 12–14 cm (4.7–5.5 in) Wingspan: 20–21 cm (7.9–8.3 in) Weight: 8.5–14.2 g (0.30–0.50 oz). The species comprises two subspecies, with fairly extensive intergradation and mixing where they meet. S. p. palmarum ("brown palm warbler" or "western palm warbler") inhabits the western two-thirds of the breeding range, and migrates southeast to winter on the Atlantic coast from Delaware to Florida (with a few on the Gulf coast west to Louisiana). It has much less yellow below, with less colorful streaking, and cold grayish-brown upper parts.
