A Bit Aggressive
The Good News is that I was wrong about the Yellow Rumped Warblers. They didn't migrate out yet (so evidently they were out of my view whenever I looked) . The Bad News is that the males are molting into summer plumage and the hormonal change has turned them into little monsters. I watched in amazement as one dude fought off a half dozen birds, keeping them away from the now fully-stocked feeders. And in that quick turn, I decided: yes, it is time you YRWs migrate. Now. Quickly. This behavior is crazy, even if they need extra calories for the migration. Be careful what you wish for!
