<div dir="auto">I've been seeing a ton of aphids this year, in many sizes and colors, including some particularly juicy ones that have appeared on a large hellebore in my garden. Yesterday, at least four Wilson's descended to the ground and feasted on the aphids. Hooray!!

Some low enough to be breathtaking, most high enough to cause the classic warbler neck, silhouettes against a white sky. But that’s warbler watching. As Jim Danzenbaker reminds us, look up! I think the reason they stay high is because they are on the move, and it’s easier to move through the treetops than through the understory.<br><br>Two Warbling Vireos added to the fun, but I saw no other species. These birds really like birch trees, which are full of insects in the spring.<br><br>Dennis Paulson<br>Maple Leaf<br>_______________________________________________<br>Tweeters mailing list<br><a href="mailto:Tweeters@u.washington.edu" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Tweeters@u.washington.edu</a><br><a href="http://mailman11.u.washington.edu/mailman/listinfo/tweeters" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer noreferrer">http://mailman11.u.washington.edu/mailman/listinfo/tweeters</a></blockquote>
