Setophaga palmarum
You can't always get the perfect picture when it comes to birds. This palm warbler would not stay put for more than a few seconds. It is a small songbird that winters in the southeastern United States, especially in Florida. Eastern birds are bright yellow below with rufous streaks on their breasts. Western birds are lightly streaked and drabber in color. They have a dark eye-line through each eye. Adults in breeding plumage have rufous crowns and yellow throats.
This palm warbler was spotted in one of the trees in the marsh at an rv resort in Silver Springs, Florida.
