There were several yellow warblers flitting about the gray birches when I walked the trail this morning. I patiently waited for one of them to hold still long enough for me to get a decent shot, and was finally rewarded. As you can see, this one's beak was stuffed with insects (crane flies maybe??). It's a good thing that yellow warblers don't seem to be declining in numbers, as they play a big role in keeping harmful pest populations under control. Midges, mosquitoes, and insect larvae are favored diet items.
