Geocache Description:

This series is dedicated to Vermont's nesting wood warblers, a family of small North American songbirds, many of whom sport bright colors and sing songs that can be learned with patience and practice. They return from their wintering grounds just as the leaves—and insects—begin to come out.



Pine Warblers are common early migrants, coming a shortish distance, as the warbler flies, from Florida and nearby Caribbean islands. They are uncommon breeders, nesting in mature stands of white pine. Their song is a rapid trill on the same pitch. It sounds like a Chipping Sparrow, but the sparrows, especially in the East, stick closer to people and the habitats they have modified. Each summer, a pair thrives on birch seeds that fall on our deck, for example. Pine warblers are more specialized and, therefore, less widespread and less common.

Abundance and habitat data are from Birdwatching in Vermont by Ted Murin and Bryan Pfeiffer.
