Cuba The Palm Warbler breeds in Canada and the north-eastern corner of the USA. It winters in south-east USA, Central America and the West Indies. See the distribution map at Birdlife International. In winter it is found in a wide variety of habitats almost always near or on the ground. It is probably the commonest warbler in Cuba during the winter. |

In winter plumage, it is greyish-brown above with a whitish supercilium and pale, often indistinct wing-bars. Below it is whitish with brown streaks on the throat and breast. These streaks are much more pronounced in the first photo than in the other two birds. Undertail coverts are yellow and it wags its tail incessantly. | |||

The bird in the third photo has been ringed. | |||
