Posting 12 common local warblers species from the Prince Edward Point Bird Observatory. The staff at PEPtBO bring incredible enthusiasm and dedication to the banding, tracking and recording of migrating birds. I contacted them when I started this painting and they provided a wealth of knowledge.

PEPtBO's Birding is for EveryBODY launches May 9.

Let’s kick this off with no. 12, the Western Palm Warbler. Unlike most warblers, this species is a ground forager, breeding in the boreal forest.
