They forage slowly on tree trunks and branches by poking their bill into pine cones. These birds also find food by searching for it on the ground. These birds mainly eat insects, seeds and berries.
Their nests are deep, open cups, which are placed near the end of a tree branch. Pine warblers prefer to nest in pine trees, hence their names. Three to five blotched white eggs are laid.
I’ll have to do some research, and see if these birds live in the places I visit in the east Texas pine forests. I’ll bet they do.
Thanks, Linda. 🙂
