Re: [mou-net] Warblers, Orioles Taking Suet - Big Stone Co

[GLENN CIEGLER]

I’ve had Cape May warblers hitting my suet and the seed feeder! Can’t be sure 
they are picking bugs off of both though...

[mou-net] Warblers, Orioles Taking Suet - Big Stone Co

[Jason Frank]

In the past 24 hours, the feeders have been overrun by hungry birds.
Anywhere from 10-20 Orioles at a time (Baltimore outnumbering Orchard
roughly 3-1), RB Grosbeaks (3 pairs), Catbirds, Cardinals, Grackles,
House Finches, Goldfinches, 2 late Siskins, Both Nuthatches, Chipping
Sparrows, Woodpeckers D, H, and RB, Warblers Yellow, Yellow-Rumped,
Nashville, Palm, and B&W.*

*These are only the ones I bothered to ID

I have lots of orange slices and grape jelly set out; it got down to
34 here last night, so bugs must be scarce: Warblers and Orioles are
also taking crumbled bits of suet from the platforms.

Yellow Warblers in particular are coming directly to the deck to take
meal worms from the railing. This morning, they were landing on the
window screens looking for bugs.

It appears that some Warblers don't recognize/understand suet feeders.
I've only ever seen Yellow-Rumps on them. But if the suet is crumbled
and scattered, on platforms, stumps, logs, railings, or smeared onto
tree trunks, they find it right away. Since the Orioles and Grosbeaks
have come to dominate the platforms, I've spread the feeding sites out
around the yard. The Warblers seem to like it at least 10 yards from
the bigger birds.

I haven't seen so much savor for suet since the Spring '08 fallout,
when I was living in Isanti Co.

[mou-net] Orioles

[john nelson]

Presently 20 Baltimore and a pair of Orchard Orioles along with 4
Gray Catbirds are competing for 10 grape jelly stations. I just put out the
third two pound jar of jelly which may not last until dark. This is going
to be a hard night for our “tropical” birds.
We’ve seen female orioles carrying nesting material.

[mou-net] Prothonotary Warbler

[Steve Midthune]

As many already know through ebird, a Prothonotary Warbler was found at
Agassiz NWR. A group of birders from the Detroit Lakes Festival of Birds
were walking the trails around the Visitor's Center. They discovered the
bird where the trail meets the marsh north of the Center.

I saw my first Chimney Swift over downtown Minneapolis earlier this 
week. This morning there are at least 12 active during a light rain.
