Pine Warbler Images, Facts and Information:

Setophaga pinus

  • Pine Warblers are large warblers with olive-green backs, yellow underparts, and white wing bars. Males have a brighter yellow belly compared to females. They have a short, pointed bill and a thin, dark eye line.
  • Pine Warblers are year-round residents in the southeastern United States, but migratory populations breed in the northeastern U.S. and Canada, and winter in the southern U.S. and Mexico. Pine Warblers thrive in pine forests, pine plantations, and mixed pine-hardwood forests. They are often found high up in the canopy of pine trees.
  • Pine Warblers primarily eat insects and spiders, foraging by gleaning them from pine needles and branches. They will also eat seeds and berries, especially during the winter.
  • Pine Warblers lay 3 to 5 eggs which hatch in about 12 days. Both parents care for the young.
  • A group of warblers is called a “bouquet” or “confusion” of warblers.
  • The oldest known Pine Warbler lived to be over 7 years old.
