The drab, fall version of the Palm Warbler is passing through the Northeast now, toward the end of fall warbler migration.

This is one side of a distinctive palm branch found at Chapman Botanical Gardens in Apalachicola, Florida. Don’t take my word for it, but the plant may be the species Livistona chinensis, or Chinese fan palm. Whatever it is, I was intrigued by the radiating pattern of the individual leaves.

Palm Tree
Palm-tree: single-legged giant,
topping other trees,
peering at the firmament —
It longs to pierce the black cloud-ceiling
and fly away, away,
if only it had wings.
The tree seems to express its wish
in the tossing of its head:
its fronds heave and swish—
It thinks, Maybe my leaves are feathers,
and nothing stops me now
from rising on their flutter.
All day the fronds the windblown tree
soar and flap and shudder
as though it thinks it can fly,
As though it wanders in the skies,
travelling who knows where,
wheeling past the stars —
And then as soon as the wind dies down,
the fronds subside, subside:
the mind of the tree returns.
To earth, recalls that earth is its mother:
and then it likes once more
its earthly corner.
We had a good arrival of palm warblers :-) They were foraging just a few feets from me at ground level. It's really my favorite way to take warblers as the back can be of different colors. This one did that fluffy display pose and I find that too cute to not post it :-))

The Palm Warbler has to have been one of the most if not the most common bird species we encountered during our trip to Cuba earlier this month. What a pretty little bird to have around in such abundance.

Setophaga palmarum
Had a lot of fun trying to capture some night time shots of this pair of beautiful palm trees against a cloudy sky with just a few stars peering through. Location? You guessed it, Palm Springs. Also captured that same night: flic.kr/p/2nZFG7k .
Thanks for the visits, faves and comments its greatly appreciated.

All the angles and lines that this palm created in the sunlight caught my eye. I like what happened when I did a high contrast monochrome version. Taken in the desert dome of the Mitchell Park Domes in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Another one from the archives.

Most of the trees in the Launceston City Park were planted in the 19th century. Palms like this can live for over 100 years, so when exactly it was planted I can't be sure. But it makes an excellent subject for an Infra Red shot.
This bird consists of two subspecies, the Yellow Palm Warbler in the east and the Western Palm Warbler.
Palm warblers, Setophaga palmarum, are everywhere in winter. In the cities or in the boonies, odds are pretty good that you'll cross paths with one. By our completely unscientific measure, they are by far the most numerous warbler in South Florida.
The key word in the above paragraph is winter. Palm warblers are migratory birds. They spend their summers throughout much of Canada into the Northwest Territories, and the northern tier of the United States, where they breed, then head south for the winter. They'll arrive here as early as September and October and will stay until April, when they make the journey northward.
Palms can be found throughout Florida, up the Atlantic Coast into the Carolinas, and along the Gulf Coast to Texas. They also winter in the Caribbean, including Cuba, the Yucatan and into Central America. We've seen them as far south as Key West.
Palms are brightly colored in the summer, with a rusty-red cap and a bright yellow belly. However, they're on the dull side during winter when we're most likely to see them. About the only bit of color on them in winter is some yellow near the tail. If you look closely at the the top off the photograph, you'll see a hint of the palm's red cap.
Found this male in his Breeding colors along the shore of Lake Marian in Osceola County, Florida.

While visiting the Roman ruins at Italica, Spain, I was fascinated by the combination of palm trees & pines - a mixture that I would never see at home. The morning light was sublime!

Thraupis palmarum (Palm Tanager / Tángara palmera)
The Palm Tanager is one of the most widespread and familiar birds of the neotropics, from Nicaragua south to southern Brazil. They are common at forest borders, but also occur in the canopy of the interior of forest. As the name suggests, Palm Tanagers often are associated with palm trees, but by no means are they restricted to living in palms.
