After I got out of work today I had to head straight home due to some commitments but was rewarded with a singing Pine Warbler almost as soon as I got home and I eventually got some distant photos.  By midday I was able to make it out to hit a few spots where I successfully found a couple more somewhat early Palm Warblers with singles at Lake Wallace and along the rail trail in Amherst despite a near continuous wind.

Once I was back home later in the afternoon I decided to check the motion camera I had trained on one of my remaining suet feeders.  As I was walking down the hill to the feeders I noticed one and then two Pine Warblers coming to the suet.  I had specifically set the camera up on the suet feeder in the hopes of catching an early arriving warbler and I finally managed to capture one.  The check of the cameras turned up lots of photos of up to two Pine Warblers enjoying the feeders starting at the end of March.
