[mou] Yellow Rumped Warblers at suet feeders

[Jake Langeslag]

Hello -
   I was at a friends house today and realized droves of warblers at their feeder suet feeder as well.  I had never seen anything like it!  They were on log feeders with suet plugs.  I also noticed the large number of insects hovering around and eating the suet.  I wonder if they are first are attracted by the bugs and then the eventually start to figure out that the suet is an easy meal.  
I watched Nashville, Tennessee and Yellow-rumped feeding on the suet while I was there.  
 
Very fun to watch!    Jake Langeslag

Hi allWow, 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?
