4/16/13 – After 57 years of looking at Sawbill bird feeders, it is pretty rare to see something surprising. Yesterday, for the first time that I can remember, we had yellow rumped warblers at our feeders. Wikipedia tells me that it’s not unusual for these little passerines to visit feeders, especially if they arrive in the north before the insects that they usually eat are available.
