I love the flash of yellow they display as they flit through the branches!

They love a homemade suet and a suet peanut etc. combination that I scrape onto a board and hang on one of my poles. I had one yesterday that continuously chased the others away. He never ate because he was so busy being a bully. They also eat a seed cake I have but really like the suet feeders the best.

This is the first time I've ever seen this little bird. The flashes of yellow caught my eye. We've had a significant amount of snow the past 10 days and this morning I tossed seed and bread onto the deep snow/ice covered back deck so the birds would have something to eat until the feeders are dug out and refilled.

It states that their diet also consists of insects. The Myrtle Warbler appears here in Florida @ October and may remain until April. This past winter is the first time I've ever seen the Myrtle Warbler in my area. I noticed them at the feeders a few times and wondered if they were attracted by the dehydrated mealworms that I mix in with the seed. A very pretty little bird!

Although this Winter they have been visiting our Suet feeders, and occasionally have been seen at the seed feeders. They seem to really prefer the Suet.
