Last year at our house a Palm Warbler would come everyday to a Bottlebrush Tree outside our window. The little bird would feed on the blossoms and fly up from the branches to tap with it's bill on the glass of the window. He did this for the three months of our winter in Florida. Dottie, my wife and I nicknamed it Tap-A-Tap from the daily tapping. In late spring it was there no more tapping, we felt heartbroken that it had left having become used to it's daily presence. A few days ago we heard the familiar tapping on the window glass, Tap-A-Tap was back. The questions that cannot be answered but exist are. Is it the same Palm Warbler? Would two have the same mannerisms and activity? Where did it go during the summer?
