Palm Warbler

Palm Warbler

I visit Florida in the wintertime, arriving around the first of October. You’ll find me hopping around in the grass and in bushes. You can distinguish me from other little birds because I bob my tail up and down a lot.

Most Likely Found: In the marsh, In the open fields, In the treetops, In your backyard

When: Winter

Where I've photographed: Circle B Bar Reserve, Fort De Soto, Lake Apopka, Lake Hancock Outfall Wetlands, Lake Morton, Oakland Nature Preserve, Viera Wetlands
