Feeder Highlights – March 07, 2026

The evening feeder glowed amber in the fading light, and at exactly 9:44 p.m. a bright orange‑crowned pine warbler swooped onto the perch. Its olive‑green back and vivid yellow crown made it instantly recognizable as a resident of pine‑dominated forests. The warbler hopped from seed to seed with rapid, delicate pecks, then paused to fluff its rufous rump and give its feathers a quick preen, a ritual that keeps its plumage waterproof and ready for the cool night air. Moments later the same pine warbler returned, this time sharing the feeder with a cheerful black‑capped chickadee and a shy dark‑eyed junco. The chickadee’s crisp “chip‑chip” call punctuated the quiet, while the junco’s muted tones blended into the backdrop. Together they turned an ordinary backyard feeding station into a tiny symposium of songbirds, illustrating how even a simple seed mix can attract a diverse cast of North American avian visitors.
