For several years I have intended to look for Pine Warblers in the Miller Point Park in the 
outskirts of Bridgewater, which has a fine stand of White Pine. Stimulated by James Hirtle's 
sighting of a Pine Warbler there several weeks ago, today was the day. 

I found at least one (possibly two) singing male Pine Warblers. At on location, a male and a 
female foraged rapidly on fat green caterpillars and appeared to be carrying some away. In 
MBBA days this would certainly rate a CF breeding confirmation. 

Other species in this lovely woodland included several Ovenbirds and E. Wood-pewees, a 
singing Blackburnian and several other warblers.
