The palm warbler is one of the
earlier species to pass through Magee Marsh, often being seen in some
numbers in April and then peaking in early May. There are two
forms of the species, the eastern (or yellow) and western races, with
the eastern being rare at Magee and the western being common, but both
races are similar enough to identify based on the rufous cap and
frequent flicking of the tail.
