So yesterday, after filling the feeders before the winter storm came in (lots of rain and sleet over night), I decided to see what hits I'd get from the Bird ID app, as the shrubs and trees were loaded. I could recognise a few by sight, still couldn't tell you which is a Carolina Chickadee and which is a Black Cap, and the difference in Sparrows, but I can distinguish Eastern Towhees by sound now.

any way, a new bird popped up! A 'Palm Warbler'. Huh. Ok. Never seen that before. Maybe it's a misidentified bird. So I looked it up to see what they look like in the event I spot one.

Lo and behold... That is definitely an Immature/NonBreeding Adult Palm Warbler. And a female House Finch. That's a new Lifer on the app for me.

There's at least 2. They appear to be the Western Palm Warbler, Nonbreeding Adult/Immature variety. It seems they may still be migrating, or have decided here is a good place to overwinter, due to an abundance of open shrub land, boreal forest with bogs/ponds and plenty of easy snacky foods.

Pretty cool.
