Strange, I had cowbirds and pine siskins at my feeder
yesterday for the only time all winter.

Re: pine warbler
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Had two birds this morning that are a little bit out
of the ordinary for
me: a pine warbler and a cowbird. I know cowbirds can
be a dime a dozen but
I rarely get them at the feeder and haven't had any
thus far this winter.
Frank Schaff and I had none all day when we helped
with the Washington's
Birthplace Christmas bird count back in December.
Pine warblers aren't all
that rare either but, again, I hadn't seen any at the
house this season.
They overwinter here in small numbers so seeing one
isn't a "sign of
Spring". When they start singing in March, however,
you can be sure that
winter is on the wane.

I too had a pine warbler on my feeder this
morning
and took awhile to believe that was what it
was. So I am glad you mentioned your sighting
I
havent had one before either. Beth
