While not rare, the Palm Warbler is an uncommon visitor to my part of the world, normally their migration route takes them farther east. The Spring Migration is off to a rousing start!

Palm Warbler
Honeenum Pond, WI
#252
I went to the Carpinteria Bluffs this morning and had a grand time, topped off by my first-this-year (and second ever) Palm Warbler. I saw one at the Greenwell Preserve last fall when I was scouting for the upcoming Christmas Count, but this one today was in its breeding plumage and much spiffier looking, with crisp streaking below, a yellow throat, and a rufous crown.
Peter Gaede saw a Palm Warbler in pretty much this same spot on January 5 for our Christmas Count, which led Eric Culbertson to wonder if the bird I saw today is the same bird, having overwintered there, or a different bird, having wandered in as a spring vagrant. Who knows? (Well, the warbler in question presumably knows.)
