Participant Photo: Yellow-rumped warblers aplenty

Joined project feeder watch and constantly need to provide evidence for unusually high counts of Yellow-rumped Warblers at our site. We have the feeders shown in these pictures with bark butter along with 3 suet feeders and a platform feeder with meal worms that attract the Yellow-rumped Warblers. They are often on the ground and/or drinking at the birdbath, too. We have seen as many as 15 Yellow-rumped Warblers simultaneously at our feeder site. Extremely high numbers often coincide with the onset of rain or snow. On any given day in the winter, with just a few minutes of observing, we will see more than five Yellow-rumped Warblers simultaneously at our site. They move around very quickly and often chase each other off.
