A Southern Warbler in a park

  In the winter Pine Warblers are one of the drabbest looking warblers around. In Newfoundland Pine Warblers are usually seen in the fall, not in January. Pine Warblers are a southern warbler. They eat insects such as larvae and caterpillars. This year a Pine Warbler showed up in Bowering Park, St John's. I went to see this Pine Warbler today. The weather was horrible. It was rainy and then the rain turned into a slushy snow fall. The winds were also horrible, but the Pine Warbler was seen. Considering the Pine Warbler should be in the southern US right now and the temperature here is dropping into the -20s C with the wind chill, the Pine Warbler is probably facing its last few days alive. The Warbler is now living on seeds. That is not a sufficient feed to keep it alive. It really needs lard 24/7 if it is to survive. Bird watchers have put out a suet cake for it. If seen please report to nf.birds!

This weather is bad news for the Pine Warbler
