Same thing is happening here. I noticed a very vibrant (as compared to the goldfinches) yellow that couldn't wait to feed on some peanut butter slop yesterday afternoon. I hoped that I would succeed in taking a picture of it today and I did. If anyone is interested in seeing a picture of a male Pine Warbler taken on 02.26.03, email me and I'll send it right off.
