Return of Yellow-rumped Warbler

When all the deciduous trees have dropped the leaves, leaving the branches bare,  I can spot a winter bird easily.

Early this morning somebody familiar was jumping up from bare pear branches to catch bugs.  Oh yes, that is my winter friend coming back for my suet.

The suet is popular in the winter time.  A Northern Flicker was already on it.  Then Oregon juncos,  Red-breasted nuthatches, and Black-capped chickadees, they all like to get a little bite of it.   Being too crowded there, the yellow-rumped Warbler did not get a chance to try this suet today.

Maybe tomorrow, you can try it again.  I got another suet hanging in my backyard, so try the other one under the wisteria tree.
