    It's a Palm Warbler. Nice job getting him still!

    Thanks Lana. I thought so but its plumage looked different than the ones in my guide books.

    Robert, if you have a Sibley Guide, look at the bird he labels "Brown (Western)". Your bird seems to match that very well. The yellow undertail is a good mark for both races. A good behavioral mark in the field is that Palms pump their tails, something that still amuses my wife after 20+ years of birding.
