Yesterday afternoon, I saw at least 4 PALM WARBLERS at the swan pen at Stewart Park -- 3 were dull "Western" Palm Warblers and 1 was a very bright "Eastern" Palm Warbler, making for an excellent comparison of these two taxa that might someday constitute a new split. These were hunkering from the wind at the se corner of the pond, feeding on the ground and sallying for insects low over the water along with several YELLOW-RUMPED, YELLOW WARBLERS, and a nice male AMERICAN REDSTART.
