Pine Warbler

Dendroica pinus

5"-5 3/4"
As its name implies, the Pine Warbler is usually found in amougnst pines. It is one of the few types of warblers that inhabits its breeding ground all year long. It is found all throughout eastern North America. It has a nice quiet song (a soft lisping chip).

There were two of these flying around. I originally thought they were yellow warblers, but upon further observance, they had a olive face mask. I thought it would be too early to see yellow warblers anyway. It was so nice to see some yellow in amoung the bare branches of the trees. Daffodills and pine warblers.... thank God for Spring.
