Nichols says the PALM comes down in the fall thru the Mississippi valley, a few along the Atlantic coast, into Florida. The Yellow Palm comes thru the Atlantic coast and meets the Palm in Florida, where they mingle during the winter and are among the commonest of winter birds on the peninsula, where the Palm far outnumbers the Yellow Palm. The line over the eye is always yellow in the Yellow Palm: in the Palm it is yellow in Spring — white in Fall. When they come tilting back north and separate in Georgia for the two routes it is not safe to guess that all eastern individuals are Yellow Palms; they have been known to go astray!
Central North America, from southern Mackenzie and central Keewatin south to Florida.
