If you look closely in the photo below, you can see a green caterpillar wriggling around in his bill. He worked through all five of the tall bushes gleaning caterpillars as he went. Then he flew up to the maple tree I was sitting under and found tasty treats there too.
Thank you, Mr. Mag, but you keep the caterpillar. My oatmeal and blueberries are enough for me! |
Magnolia Warblers are not summer residents in our area. They are just passing through during spring migration on their way north to their nesting grounds. Eat up, fella! You'll need your energy to make it to your summer home. Maybe I'll see you on your return visit this autumn during fall migration as you wing your way south to your wintering grounds.
You can come for breakfast anytime, you sweet Magnolia Warbler, you! |
...chalk up another new yard bird for our new house. I love living by woods!
