Counter intuitively, this warbler is likely to be found in Pine forests (migratory ssp.) or Mangroves (Florida ssp.) -- but not in Prairies! CSS.
The Prairie warbler is quite a rare bird in Canada and only 300 pairs are estimated to reside in Southern Ontario. I was quite excited to find this one in Newfoundland, probably blown off course during fall migration.
This photo is a replacement of an earlier image.
Not a very tall flower and easy to miss in the tall grass and sun flowers, they hug the ground and I have never seen one get over a foot.
(SETOPHAGA DISCOLOR)prairie warbler-olive above, with faint chestnut streaks on back; yellow patch below eye;bright yellow, streaked with black on sides; indistinct wing bars. FEMALE and immature male are slightly duller.IMMATURE FEMALE is duller still,grayish olive above; compare to fall magnolia warbler usually forages in lower branches and brush, twitching its tail.. RANGE: generally common in open woodlands, scrublands,over grown fields,and mangrove.casual in the west,exceptin coastal CA,where it is rare in fall. also rare in fall to atlantic canada and newfoundland.declining in upper midwest.
Adult female. St. George Island State Park, Florida. 4/16/2014.
Compare to my last post of a first fall female bird. Notice this bird has no split white eye ring as do the juveniles, but instead it is as yellow as the rest of the yellow on the bird. The adult male would have a bold black moustache stripe and bold black streaking. The easiest warblers to get nice images of are always the spring males, and photographing them well while trying to minimize any disturbance is a special art in itself, but many who photograph warblers have relatively few such images of females and immatures. And that is one reason I have been diligently working on acquiring images of females and immatures. The method and techniques are quite different and present a whole different set of challenges, and a lot of fun too!
A few of the migrating warblers I photographed Saturday morning at Fort Desoto. These birds are all very small and hide among the leaves and are very tough to photograph.

Sumas Prairie is one of my favourite parts of Abbotsford. I enjoy cycling the country roads, watching the changing seasons on the farms and taking advantage of this unique city in the country.
The weather was so beautiful today, in the 50s F. We went for a walk at Stone State Park in Sioux City.
I took this picture from the ground. I loved the buttermilk sky and prairie grasses. It was such unusual weather for December 26.
I sent the photo into KTIV and it was shown on the weather report on the 10:00 p.m. news.
