Palm Warbler - The Tail Wagging Bird

Eastern and Western Palm Warblers breed in the boreal forests of Canada and winter in the Florida Backyard. The most notable feature of this delightful bird is their near constant tailing wagging. Lots of birds have a habit of pumping or wagging their tails besides the Palm Warblers - like phoebes, wagtails and pipits, and Spotted Sandpipers. In some cases it is thought that tail pumping is a signal meant to send a message to tell a predator that the bird has seen it, and therefore is not worth pursuing.

[@CenturianEagle]

Great video as always!!

[@gypsyrhodescovers]

I love the tail wagging! I don't think I've ever seen one before.

[@margaretcomella3318]

Thanks for the view and the education! 😉👍

[@maryclarafjare]

We're all starting to take crystal-clear 4K video like this for granted. It's so astonishing.
Oh well, we take air travel for granted, too, and it was brand new at one time!

. Beautiful bird you are so lucky to have them around.

[@russellgentile4719]

Beautiful little guys. I saw one hopping around in my yard today.
I also recently saw prairie warblers in a certain tree they must love eating the little bugs on. They turn upside down sometimes on the thin branches. They are very sweet and not afraid either.

Beautiful and cute! I wouldn't have guessed they'd eat eggs.☺Thanks for sharing! Silly jay at the end. I just love them, noisy or not😄

We have Swainson's warblers i think. cute tiny birds who sound like squeaky toys when they fly, they have now flown to Florida, I'm in south east Ala.

Sweet bird... we see a lot of these here in the Tampa area

[@garywebb8086]

I saw one of these a few days ago but wasn't sure what it was, now I do. Thank you. 😎
I thought it was a finch.

[@SuperMonaLisaBros]

I saw that bird at my feeder. I thought it was having a seizure and almost called the wildlife folks. I'm glad it's normal. 😌

Lol there’s one which likes to antagonize this mockingbird which lives in a bush in my backyard. One day it brought another warbler with it and one went after spiders in my gutters while the other one went to antagonize the mocking bird.

Phoebes flick their tails also. They are in the flycatcher family.

FANTASTIC !!! Pete and I rescue birds in Newark NJ, but he visited me in Ocala last week and neither of us could figure out what this tail wagging bird was. We have rescued Palm Warblers in Newark but do not observe tail wagging as injured, and do not have that whitish eyebrow. Checking off another bird in my life-list - Thanks ! Think I might have shared this before, it is video of Pete & me in June in Newark rescuing injured in Newark NJ NJ ruclips.net/video/kjxoV66pCcM/видео.html
