Galen Frantz Posted December 5, 2021 Author Share Posted December 5, 2021 Thanks! I am beginning to really appreciate the seasonal variations in some bird species...this being one... They are super common here in FL, but they look different every time I see one! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am beginning to really appreciate the seasonal variations in some bird species...this being one... Be aware there are two common subspecies of Palm, Yellow and Western. They're visually different from each other, both in breeding and winter plumage. I'm pretty sure both spend the winter in the Sunshine State. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Galen Frantz Posted December 11, 2021 Author Share Posted December 11, 2021 OK...so the bird in the photo--is that a yellow or a western? Actually, I just looked in Sibley Birds East, and it looks like the yellow supercilium gets this one into the yellow subspecies. Sibley lists yellow and brown types. Is the brown the same as your western? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The yellow undertail coverts are found in both subs. The Yellow is also yellow on the belly and chest. This one appears white in those areas, so Western. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
