Palm Warbler

Palm Warbler
Yes, I know, this is a really, really bad photo - but it's the first time I've properly seen a Palm Warbler (uncommon in Alberta) and the first photo I've ever taken. This little bird was way, way down the path at Burnsmead and I would never have paid any attention to it or known what it was. I was lucky because the friend I was with is an excellent birder - thanks for not only adding this new bird to my "collection", Tony, but for also pointing out all the main ID features so that maybe I'll recognize it if I see one again! Note the chestnut cap, light yellow throat and undertail coverts, yellow eyebrows and olive brown upperparts. Not sure how accurate the colouring is in my image, as it is very "noisy" and I had to try and salvage the image a little. The bird's tail-wagging habit is as good a field mark as any.
