Despite its name, the Palm Warbler is among the northernmost of any Dendroica species. Described by J. P. Gmelin from a wintering specimen on Hispaniola, this warbler winters primarily in southeastern and Gulf Coast regions of the United States. Its breeding distribution generally corresponds to the distribution of bogs and fens in boreal forests of Canada and the northern United States. Among congeners, only the Blackpoll Warbler (D. striata) has a more northerly breeding distribution. More

During migration, when they are seen in Washington, they are usually found in hedgerows, thickets, and other edge habitats along the coast, often frequenting thickets of non-native Scots broom. back to top Behavior - Outside of the breeding season, especially during migration, Palm Warblers may join mixed flocks. They are usually found fairly low, in the understory or on the ground. More

An estimated 98% of the global population of Palm Warbler breeds in Canada's boreal forest. The Palm Warbler is unlike most wood-warblers, because it prefers breeding habitats that are open and unwooded. It is also one of very few species that takes advantage of black spruce bog environments and often nests in areas with scattered trees and heavy undergrowth. Consequently, its breeding distribution generally corresponds to the distribution of these bogs and fens in boreal forests of Canada. More
