    Pine Warbler / Setophaga pinus

    : Breeds. in clusters of mature White Pines mid Apr-early Sep with from early April. The College of the Atlantic Campus and Babson Creek Preserve support multiple pairs.

    : Rarely detected but probably to late Apr-mid May and again mid Sep-mid Oct with to mid Nov, with a preference for pines where available.

    : mid Nov-Mar at feeders where they can survive on suet and seeds, most recently in Bar Harbor Feb 9, 2024. One mid Dec 2019 record away from human habitation was probably attempting to wintering the wilds.

    Miscellany: A somewhat strange warbler and the only one that regularly eats seeds. It's also the only warbler whose entire population, with small exceptions, breeds and winters in the U.S. and Canada.
