cardinal & yellow warbler

14 years ago

This seemed strange to me and I'd love to have your expert opinion. I saw a male cardinal mating with a yellow warbler on my fence the other day. Is that normal for cardinals?

And another YES! Last winter a Yellow-rumped Warbler (I like the term Butter Butt) tried to guard one of my suet feeders against a Carolina Wren. Apparently the wren was too big or looked too mean so the warbler just stood and glared at the the wren that dared to eat warbler suet. Claire

It's nice to see warbler shots again! I've not heard or seen any yet this spring - but I've had zero time with the birds so it could be that I'm just missing them :^(

That really is sad. Wow. What in the world were the Warblers doing in the chicken coop? Don't they eat insects and spiders?
