Spotlight Species #4:
Pine warbler (Setophaga pinus)

What to Look For:
Pine warblers are small birds with short bills. The species has a yellow throat, a yellow to olive back, a white lower belly, and grey and white wings. There is a lot of variation in their coloring, but all pine warblers are cute little birds.

Where to Find It:
Pine warblers like pine forests, of course! They are often found in forests and surrounding areas. The species is a common sight at bird feeders.

Why It Is a Spotlight Species:
Pine warblers really like to hang out in our Waccamaw pine forests. They know it’s the place to be and stick around during migration.
They are a vocal bird that likes to sing at any time with a song of 10-30 notes.
