Episode 3: Palm Warbler - Voice of the Wild Voice of the Wild
-
- Education
Learn the song and call of the Palm warbler (Setophaga palmarum).
It's easy to get a look at this warbler as it prefers to mingle in mixed flocks on the ground. You might mistake it for a sparrow at first, but it bobs its tail as it forages and it has yellow on its face and rump. In the spring adults have a chestnut-colored cap. This warbler sounds a little like a chipping sparrow but you can tell it's different because of how buzzy it is; it almost sounds digital.
Do you want to learn more bird songs, frog calls, and insect noises? Join Voice of the Wild every Friday to explore a new wild voice. From time to time, we’ll also do a deep dive into wildlife science, news, and natural history. Voice of the Wild is brought to you by the University of Illinois Extension Natural Resources, Environment, and Energy program.
