I agree. But how!!!!! I have never gotten a warbler at my feeders in my life!!!!!! You're so lucky!!!

It depends on the warblers you get in your area.  Pines and Yellow-rumpeds come to suet readily, at least in my yard.  I've had at least one Blackburnian and one Yellow-throated too.

I've had Orange-Crowned Warblers on suet and hummingbird feeders. But,that's it. I'm in SoCal, in case you didn't know. OCWAs are actually common here.

I believe we northerners don't get warblers on suet often because they're all down south during the winter when they actually want the suet.  Pines do occasionally overwinter here, but that is quite rare.

Yeah probably.

Yep Orange-crowned are kind of hard to find around where I live. Never seen one myself.

Yeah, they disappear from here in when the weather warms.  Right now I can have four to six PIWA at at a time, along with one or two YRWA.  In the summer I may get one or two PIWA a month, and the YRWA disappear entirely.  Supposedly the PIWA are here but they prefer other food sources.
