See below. First though it turns out I should not have been surprised that the first warbler of spring here in southern Maine was a Pine Warbler. According to the Audubon Guide to the Birds of North America online, the Pine Warner is singing on territory and nesting by April in Maine. This particular pine warbler was the first I have seen in our yard&#8230;but, again, according to Audubon, they are one of the few warblers that do come to feeders. You can see the seed I had scattered under the feeders by my blind around the bird\u2019s feet. Sony Rx10iv at 600mm equivalent. Program mode with my custom birds and wildlife modifications.

At first<br \/>glance I am thinking female Goldfinch<br \/>since we have a lot of them around,<br \/>and it has that dull yellow color and<br \/>wing-bars\u2026but then it hops down and<br \/>comes toward me through the leaf-<br \/>litter\u2026not very Goldfinch like. I get<br \/>the camera on it and see the pale<br \/>streaking on the breast and that carpet<br \/>tack black bill. A warbler then, but<br \/>which one? Clearly not one of the<br \/>more obvious ones, or one I have<br \/>seen recently or often at all the past<br \/>or I would know it. The indexer in me<br \/>does that pinball machine thing where<br \/>it rolls down like the ball, bouncing off<br \/>the dull yellow Orange-crowned, and<br \/>the grayer Tennessee\u2026the brighter<br \/>Palm and Prairie, looking for a home.<br \/>It comes to rest, just barely balanced<br \/>on Pine. But is it? It takes a visit to<br \/>iBird on my phone to convince me,<br \/>but, yes it is definitely a Pine. Isn\u2019t it<br \/>wonderful how the birder\u2019s mind works?<br \/>But I have to say, at first glance it still<br \/>looks enough like a female Goldfinch<br \/>so that I am not embarrassed at all.<\/pre>\n<div class=\"sharedaddy sd-sharing-enabled\"><div class=\"robots-nocontent sd-block sd-social sd-social-icon-text sd-sharing\"><h3 class=\"sd-title\">Share this:<\/h3><div class=\"sd-content\"><ul><li class=\"share-twitter\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"sharing-twitter-13192\" class=\"share-twitter sd-button share-icon\" href=\"https:\/\/psnp.info\/p4td_\/?p=13192&amp;share=twitter\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Twitter\"><span>Twitter<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-facebook\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"sharing-facebook-13192\" class=\"share-facebook sd-button share-icon\" href=\"https:\/\/psnp.info\/p4td_\/?p=13192&amp;share=facebook\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Facebook\"><span>Facebook<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-email\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"\" class=\"share-email sd-button share-icon\" href=\"https:\/\/psnp.info\/p4td_\/?p=13192&amp;share=email\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to email this to a friend\"><span>Email<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-end\"><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pine Warbler, Kennebunk, Maine, USA There is a poem that goes with this.
