Sparrow/Warbler Problems

[Wheeler McDougal Jr.]

I was up at Viera Wetlands in Florida today and came upon this bird. I think it is some kind of Sparrow or Warbler and I need help identifying it. I would estimate it is about 5-5 1/2 inches long. Any help would be appreciated. I have other views if necessary. Thanks.

Looks like a Palm warbler of the brown variety

[Wheeler McDougal Jr.]

Thanks for the quick response Dan. It sure looks like you are correct as that is whate it looks like in the bird book. Thanks again.

Yes, Palm Warbler it is.

Mac- Palm Warblers "wag" their tails. This is another feature you can use to help ID.

[Wheeler McDougal Jr.]

Thanks John, I'll look for that next time.

Not only is it a Palm, the most common wintering warbler in FLA, but it is a nice image. I believe that the brightly colored ones like this are the Eastern variety (but am not sure).
