The Palm Warbler
The Palm Warbler – Warblers are a group of birds in the family Parulidae. There are 100species of warbler in North America.
Identifying warblers, indeed any bird comes down to knowing some basic facts about the species and then observing it closely. With about 111 species in the family, this can be a challenge. A few species don’t look very ‘warblerish’, like the Ovenbird, Waterthrush, and Yellow-breasted Chat, but for the others, you’ll need some additional help.
Color and plumage patterns, voice, behavior, and habitat are the most important characteristics. Armed with the additional knowledge of a species’ geographic range, you will likely be successful. A good field guide is also invaluable.
This one below I believe is a fly catcher of some sort. But it is also in the group of just another Brown bird for me.
Can you see what is in this tree?
I was surprised to see a dragon fly land in a tree. I was looking at birds and here came this guy with its big green eyes looking for his little bit of fame here on WordPress. 🙂

Those Flycatchers cab be tough on the ID. The palm is one of my favorite in the warbler family.
I love the colors of the palm warbler. 😊
Nicely colored warbler. Good on the LBJ identification.
Thank you Brad, always an LBJ around 🙂
Very dainty looking dragonfly – you have now given him his fame here in WordPress.
I was so strange to see it land in a tree. 🙂
Usually only see them in a marsh – at least that is how it has been for me seeing them.
What wonderful images!
Thank you very much 🙂
Perfectly gorgeous shots, Sandra.
Thank you Kellye, they are quite colorful little birds.
Lovely shots of the Palm Warbler. Your flycatcher is an Eastern Phoebe. 🙂
Thank you for letting me know on the flycatcher, I will write that one down. Thank you Donna.
I wonder if that means we have them here in Port Aransas with all of our palms.
😊, yes that would make sense and I think I saw them on the gulf coast so you for sure get them.
