[mou] Yellow Rumped Warblers at suet feeders

[Holly Peirson]

Yes, this happens when it's too cold for the bugs to fly consistently.
Yellow-rumps are generalists, they can eat whatever they can find. That's
why they are here first and probably why there are so many of them. Mine are
eating grape jelly along with the orioles, peanuts along with the
woodpeckers, nuthatches and chickadees, meal worms along with whomever can
fit between the bars of the feeder, and suet along with everyone who
partakes. They are also flitting around after insects, they are good at
playing like a flycatcher too!!

Hi all

Wow, great birding this spring, huh?!

I have been putting out meal worms for the insect-eaters for the past couple
of weeks now, but lately have noticed the Yellow Rumped (Myrtle) warblers
seem more interested in the suet.  I have three separate suet feeders and
they flock to them in droves.  It's the first time I've seen warblers on the
suet.  Anyone else seeing this too?
