A New Behavior Observed?

I've noted many times before that one of the real delights of a Wingscapes BirdCam is finding secrets about birds: catching unusual visitors, observing new behaviors, etc. that otherwise would be missed.  And this is a classic example.  I don't think I have ever seen a Pine Warbler at the peanut butter feeder.  Well, until now at least.  This one is clearly quite interested.  All that I can't prove yet is that the taste was determined to be in suet's league, for the Pine Warblers are very much suet birds.  There are many crossovers between the two food choices, although the only dependable species here are Carolina Wrens, Carolina Chickadees, and Downy Woodpeckers.   Others come and go or tend towards just one product.  Time will tell which behavior the Pine Warblers follow.
