Perhaps not technically inch worms yet a tasty meal to a female Yellow Rumped Warbler nonetheless. We watched as she picked them off of the aspen leaves inch by inch for an early morning meal.

Warblers never linger and their worm-catching is super fast; that you captured this photo is exquisite, Mike.

Thanks Jet, the only way we were able to get this shot is because the little worms were on a small tree and the warbler decided food was more important than a few photographers. Hope you have a great long weekend.

Wonderful capture, Mike. The pest removal service that birds perform is immeasurable.

We need that warbler now. Our special native columbines got infected with worms and overnight they were stripped of leaves before we could act. Not to mention the baby bunnies then sucessfully went after the stems which were full of flowers and chopped them right off. We hope they recover with a little TLC.

Argh, how frustrating that must be. I hope they make a full recovery.

I hope they do as well but always have to remember we share our yard with the animals.
