Bay-breasted Warbler


The Bay-breasted Warbler is closely related to the Blackpoll Warbler and hybrids between the two species are known. The Bay-breasted Warbler is known to also hybridize with Yellow-rumped and Blackburnian Warblers. The Bay-breasted Warbler usually feeds on insects and spiders as well as fruit in the winter. I caught this guy feeding on an insect he had just caught. He swallowed the whole thing. Yummy!
