Palm Warbler

(Dendroica palmarum)

According to Audubon Society Eastern Region Field Guide to North American Birds, the Palm Warbler is one of the first warblers to arrive in the spring, and at this season is commonly found feeding quietly on the ground.  It is unusual among warblers of the genus Dendroica in nesting on the ground; the rare Kirtland's Warbler is the only other species that does this.
