TROPIC and NEAR-TROPIC BIRD COLLECTION

Palm Warbler Front View Palm Warbler- Dendroica palmarum Palm Warbler- Dendroica palmarum, Order PASSERIFORMES - Family PARULIDAE. My first confirmed warbler sightings this spring. This species is known for constant "bobbing of tail." This warbler was found on a very wonderful late-April day in Shaker Trace Wetlands in the Miami Whitewater Forest area in SW Ohio. Wow!
