Wagtail Warbler

Palm warblers are common winter residents in Florida, arriving in late September and staying on until April. You will see these small, active birds along forest edges, in open woods, and disturbed areas, including farmlands and marshes. They feed mostly on insects, but occasionally eat berries. Palm warblers are easy to recognize because they continually bob their tails. Often low found in vegetation, or on the ground. Plumage varies in brightness, but always shows rufous cap, pale eyebrow, and some brown streaks on breast. Forages for insects in a variety of shrubby and open habitats. Breeds in bogs and clearings in the boreal forest. One of the more common warblers wintering in the southern U.S. Also winters in the Caribbean and Yucatan Peninsula. Two populations: "Western" and Eastern.

Two folk names for the palm warbler refer to the bird’s behavior: wagtail warbler and tip-up warbler.

 

I found this one a Western I believe, along Joe Overstreet Road, in Osceola County, Florida.

 

The two white spots on its head are "Dew"!
