[CT Birds] New Feeder bird - Pine Warbler

[judymoore at optonline.net]

Hi all:I, too, had a pine warbler at my feeders a few days ago.  I saw it first on my suet, then it went to the sunflower feeder and flew off with a heart.  This was at high noon.  Not just a first for my feeders, but a new yard bird.Judy MooreWoodbridge----- Original Message -----From: Clay Taylor Date: Wednesday, April 16, 2008 9:33 pmSubject: [CT Birds] New Feeder bird - Pine WarblerTo: ctbirds at lists.ctbirding.org> Hi all - > > Late this afternoon, when the yard was covered in shadow and the > sparrows and juncos had even left the feeders, I had a first - a > gorgeous Pine Warbler popped down to the sunflower hearts feeder > and stayed there for a few minutes.
