Pine Warbler - It's Warbler Season!
A bird a day keeps the chaos away
Pine Warbler
PINWAR
Setophaga pinus
ORDER: Passeriformes
FAMILY: Parulidae
Central Indiana, May Migration Season
A medium-sized, rather robust and long-tailed warbler, with a noticeably stout bill. Variable plumage, from bright adult males with extensive yellow throat to extremely dull grayish-brown immature females. Always look for two white wingbars, diffuse streaking on the sides of the breast, large bill, and long narrow tail with a shallow notch. Well-named: almost always found in pine trees throughout the year. In spring and summer, listen for loud musical trill (compare with Chipping Sparrow and Dark-eyed Junco). Occasionally visits feeders, especially for suet. A short-distance migrant, wintering entirely in the United States.

The daily Birdstack will always be free. But let’s be real, we all get more things done when we have caffeine. If you love this daily email and would like to support us in a small way, a flat white with oat milk goes a long way toward warming this editor’s heart. We see your pledges and they always bring joy, but monetization was never an intended goal - it was always to share our stockpile of photography with you. Otherwise, hours and hours of field work and grubbing around to get the perfect shot would be trapped in our hard drives. That seems a waste, eh?

So, so cute!
Delightful! Love, especially, the photos of the singing Warblers.
