The Hardiest Warbler

By Doug Horvath | Friday, November 21, 2008, 10:48 AM

Guest entry by Skip Layman.

TheYellow-rumped warbler is one tough little guy. The other warblers travel far south and are gone from our area by mid-October. Most warblers are insect eaters that must migrate to find this food source. The Yellow-rumped also eats berries and is particularly fond of the white berries on poison ivy. If the berry crop is good enough they may stay here all winter. Here is a November picture I took of a Yellow-rumped in winter plumage getting a drink at the fountain at the Germantown MetroPark Nature Center “Window on Wildlife”.
