Do others have pine warblers coming to their feeders? This is the fourth year I've been feeding them. There are three coming in this year, as there were last year, and at least two of them are the same individuals. They've become remarkably tame. Here's a link to a video of one singing while on my hand - with a mealworm in its mouth.

Good morning,
We had a great view of a couple of Black-necked Stilts this morning (0830) at Lake Byllesby (south side boat ramp). Despite the wind, a great morning so far.
