Sheridan Park, Milwaukee Wisconsin
The palm warbler (Setophaga palmarum) is a small songbird of the New World warbler family.
The species comprises two distinct subspecies that may merit specific status.
"Yellow
palm warbler" or "eastern palm warbler" (S. p. hypochrysea) of the
eastern third of the breeding range has brownish-olive upper parts and
thoroughly yellow underparts with bold rufous breast and flank
streaking. It migrates later in the fall than its western counterpart.
"Brown
palm warbler" or "western palm warbler" (S. p. palmarum) inhabits the
remaining western two-thirds of the breeding range. It has much less
yellow below, with less colorful streaking, and cold grayish-brown upper
parts.
