Their flexible diet allows them to stay here in Arkansas in colder weather, even when there\u2019s snow.<\/p>\n<p>Without a suet or seed feeder, Arkansas still offers plenty of nut trees, such as hickory, walnut, chinquapin, hazelnut, almond, and pecan, for these warblers to feed on.<\/p>\n<p>Keeping suet and seed feeders filled helps, too.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Their Pine Preference:<\/strong> True to their name, Pine Warblers stick close to pine forests. They do best in open pine woods, especially where longleaf and pitch pines grow, and you won\u2019t often find them far from these habitats.<\/p>\n<p>There are plenty of mature pine trees here, which may be why I see and hear these warblers frequently.<\/p>\n<p>I also saw a female Pine Warbler visit the feeders, but I wasn\u2019t quick enough to get photos of her, much to my dismay.<\/p>\n<p>This bright yellow male Pine Warbler was a spot of lemony sunshine on a cloudy gray, foggy morning.
