stdavidshead Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 I live in West Palm Beach, Florida and have been watching this bird for the last 4 weeks. I think there is only one. About 5 inches long but a small bird. Only seen during the day starting in mid-January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesM Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 This is a Blackburnian Warbler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akandula Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 (edited) That's actually a Yellow-throated Warbler, with the white eyebrow and eye crescents, black face mask, and yellow throat. https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Yellow-throated_Warbler/id Edited February 15, 2020 by akandula 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stdavidshead Posted February 16, 2020 Author Share Posted February 16, 2020 Thanks so much for the link to pictures akandula. If I put meal worms in my feeder will that attract them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mealworms/suet might attract other types of warblers, like Pine and Yellow-rumped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Leukering Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 (edited) In winter, Yellow-throated Warblers often visit feeders: https://macaulaylibrary.org/asset/209431051#_ga=2.199811054.1591691688.1581782273-334541348.1399337695 https://macaulaylibrary.org/asset/209609531#_ga=2.229316444.1591691688.1581782273-334541348.1399337695 https://macaulaylibrary.org/asset/209590851#_ga=2.230832351.1591691688.1581782273-334541348.1399337695 Edited February 16, 2020 by Tony Leukering correction 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had them at my suet a few times, maybe every third year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
