2:35 AM – Here are a Pine Warbler and Mockingbird at the birdbath. This Warbler is one of the first we’ve seen this Fall. A glimpse of a bright yellow one showed up on another video, but it was too brief to display. We’re never completely sure of the distinction between the Pine Warbler, Yellow Warbler and the Goldfinch. The bird in the follow clip doesn’t have the finches’ characteristic black head markings, but it does have the black/gray/white wing bars, and no striped markings on the chest, like the Warblers. I’ll go ahead and call it a female Pine Warbler.

Archive video from November 201 6. The Chickadee bathes the same way he eats, darting in for a few seconds, then flying away, and returning. In the first part of the clip he looks like a little motorboat.
