Pine Warbler (Setophaga pinus)

Pine Warbler

Setophaga pinus

Tiny12 gForest

These birds have white bellies, two white wing bars, dark legs and thin, relatively long pointed bills; they have yellowish 'spectacles' around their eyes. Adult males have olive upperparts and bright yellow throats and breasts; females and immatures display upperparts which are olive-brown. Their throats and breasts are paler. The adult male pine warbler looks somewhat similar to the yellow-throated vireo which may cause some identification problems. The song of this bird is a musical trill. Their calls are slurred chips.
