Cox Hall Creek WMA - Sunday, October 11th, 2015

Between the two groups, we had nine species of warblers on this morning's walk, including both the more common Western Palm Warbler and the Yellow Palm Warbler. The two Palm subspecies inhabit separate breeding grounds but overlap on their wintering grounds. The Western Palm nests roughly west of Ottawa, Ontario, and winters along the southeastern coast of the United States and in the West Indies. The Yellow Palm Warbler nests east of Ottawa and winters primarily along the Gulf Coast. Both are seen here in migration, with the Western Palm being duller with lots of brown on the body and the Yellow being quite bright. Both have yellow undertail coverts and both flick their tails frequently. Group 1 Leaders: Kathy & Roger Horn, and Carrie Bell.
