Setophaga palmarum

• Palm Warblers are small songbirds with olive-brown backs, yellow underparts, rusty caps, pale eyebrow stripes, and constantly wagging tails. Males and females look similar, though breeding males appear brighter in color.
• Palm Warblers are long-distance migrators. They breed in northern bogs and open coniferous forests of Canada and the northeastern U.S. and winter across the southeastern U.S., the Gulf Coast, the Caribbean, and parts of Central America.
• Palm Warblers occur in open woodlands, brushy edges, grassy fields, forest clearings, and coastal thickets during migration and winter.
• Palm Warblers eat insects, spiders, berries, seeds, and small fruits.
• Palm Warblers lay 4 to 5 eggs in a nest built near or on the ground, often concealed in low vegetation. The female incubates for about 12 days.
