          Pine Warbler   --   photo by Lloyd Spitalnik ---  2/26/14

A bright male Pine Warbler was found by Ken Chaya just S. of Eastern Pinetum. I believe it was just before noon. Shortly later, as Pat Pollock observed the Pine Warbler, she also noticed Golden-crowned Kinglet showing up in the same area. I joined Pat a little later, and we saw two birds mostly on the lawn and occasionally in trees nearby.
