Hello Everyone!
This bird is new to our southern Connecticut backyard feeder. We think it may be a female Yellow-rumped Warbler. Could you please confirm or correct our id?
Thanks!

Yes! I am inundated with them at the moment, but never at my feeders--strange, since they seem to be such varied foragers...

That's an odd feeder bird! They're mostly insectivores, but they do feed on berries and some seeds during winter.

This warbler was actually very interested in our blueberry suet as well as our fruit and nut mix.

Maybe he/she just has a refined palate?
