Yesterday after the rain stopped, I was anxious to get to the marsh to see what changes, if any, the wild overnight weather had wrought. Although there were few waterfowl on the water (it was still quite rough), there were still a fair number of birds in among the trees, including this Palm Warbler, quickly identified by its bobbing tail.
More Palm Warblers were in evidence around the trail this morning. They tend to stay lower in the trees and brush, and this one was no exception. It kept moving ahead of me as I slowly moved along, trying to get as close as possible.
I spotted a yellow bird in a gray birch this morning, and quickly took a number of shots before it flew away. It turned out to be a Palm Warbler, seen here at the marsh around this time of year. The bird's habit of pumping its tail up and down makes it easier to identify.
