Another day on the Pine Tree Trail, Presque Isle State Park, another BirdingPI.com “first time anywhere” sighting – this time an amazing Blue-winged Warbler (m) on Saturday! (Literally amazed. Again.)
ID tips: overall yellow; distinctive black “eye line;” white wing bars. Blue wings (ahem). Distinctive ‘trilling’ call, almost insect-like; see All About Birds.

After an informal poll of BirdingPI.com staff, Pine Tree Trail rated as #1 “interior trail” at Presque Isle State Park. (#1 trail overall: Gull Point Trail. Of course.)
He borrowed those wings ‘from a friend’ – obviously 😉
Whoa! This staff member didn’t think it is #1! Perhaps #3. This staff member prefers the trail by the little taco stand/bar near the entrance! Via la tacos and cervasa!
