The Prairie Warbler (Setophaga discolor) is a tail-wagging yellow warbler with black streaks down its sides. Don't be fooled by the name - it can be found in scrubby fields and forests throughout the eastern and south-central United States, not on the prairies.

Their populations are declining throughout most of range. Declines largely attributable to loss of breeding habitat through development and natural change of shrubby habitat to forest.

This Prairie Warbler was photographed in Turkey Creek Sanctuary during the spring migration. As part of the Brevard County Environmentally Endangered Lands (EEL) program and the East Florida section of the Great Florida Birding Trail, Turkey Creek Sanctuary is 130 acres of wonder, biodiversity and natural resources. Established in 1981, the Sanctuary offers a 1.85 mile boardwalk passing through hydric (wet) hammock, mesic (moist) hammock, and sand pine scrub communities, and 1.5 miles of jogging trails through native forest, both excellent for viewing a multitude of wild life.
