Title: Back Yard Warblers - May 8th
Post by: Brian Bailey on May 10, 2010, 10:35:01 PM

On Saturday afternoon, when I was contemplating going back out to look for birds, I had several warblers come to my living room window:  Nashville, Magnolia, and Black-throated Blue.  It was getting pretty nasty outside, so it was nice to have them come in close where I could watch in comfort!

Also had a House Wren calling long and loud Saturday and Sunday.

What food do they eat, and what type of feeders are good for them?

Insects!

Yes, they're pretty much exclusively carnivores (insects and other tiny creatures). These ones were gleaning bugs from Lilacs & Honeysuckle.
