Warbler? Id (1 Viewer)

I took this in the Dry tortugas in the florida keys, i was just wondering what it was. i don't think it is the Palm warbler because the lack of the brown cap, and it didn't have yellow on the front at all, thanks

Looks like a Palm to me.

Yep...Adult non-breeding; according to Sibley. Dendroica palmarum.

I would definitely say Palm Warbler. When I say the larger version of your bird I saw a hind of brown on his crown. Besides, thats the only bird in my guide that he came closest to matching! :hippy:

Agree that it is a Palm Warbler. I just got back from Florida and saw/photographed many of them.

ok thanks a lot i was just confused, i think all books should have its breeding /non breeding/juvie/1st winter variations it gets confusing if you don't have those and leaves you confused because you can't find it the bird that you just saw. Thanks aagain

Hi Gods,

Get the Petersons Guide to Warblers an excellent guide which will cover all the info that you could want - especially variation in plumage. Also start to think about where you are seeing birds and their behaviour - Palm Warbler is one of only a handful of eastern warblers you would expect to see in open habitat like this, it also flicks its tail regularly which is a very good behavioural clue to identification.
