Pine Warbler!

New to our life list! A Pine Warbler was observed visiting our feeders this morning. Dave caught sight of it first and then it returned to the various feeders a few times this morning, enabling us to get a few pictures and a definitive ID. A great start to a Monday morning!







We also had a Redpoll and A Northern Flicker in the yard today.





The Tree Swallows are maintaining a presence near the nesting box. If they decide to return, it will be the third year they've used the same box. No further sign of the Bluebird. Chipping and Song Sparrows were in the yard this morning as well. And Juncos are still around in large numbers. It won't be long until they're off for the summer.

End of day update: The Pine Warbler was around all day! It visited the feeders out front and back repeatedly.






We also saw our fist White-throated Sparrow of the season,


as well as an Eastern Phoebe!


It turned out to be a great birding day just looking out the window here at home.
