I had a pine warbler last winter and it was eating my black oily sunflower
seeds. This was the first time I'd seen it.

Subject: Re: [NatureNS] re warblers eating sunflower seeds?
We entertained a Yellow-rumped Warbler several years back which took BOS
seeds from our hanging feeder on the deck over a period of a week or two.
That was at least 10 years ago.
The Pine Warbler which appeared one winter spent all its time at the suet -
never did see it take sunflower seeds.

Subject: [NatureNS] re warblers eating sunflower seeds? -- was Merlins at
point Pleasant Park
Paul et al., I'm intrigued by your warbler loving black-oil sunflower seeds.
Surely that is very unusual -- has anyone else any experience with any sort
of warbler eating sunflower seeds?
Cheers from Jim in Wolfville

A couple of years ago my wife and I entertained a rare Townsend's Warbler at
our house in Quispamsis, NB (he loved black oil sunflower seeds!). The bird
came every 15-30 minutes to my feeders for about two weeks. Half of the
serious birders in NB enjoyed the bird over tea in our living room. What we
didn't know was that our local Sharpie was also observing! He came
unannounced for lunch one day and picked our beautiful warbler out a crowd
of 14 or 15 mundane American Goldfinches and there ended our warbler and our
enjoyment. My wife almost saved the warbler but had a last minute second
thought before she threw her coffee mug through the plate glass of our front
window at Sharpie! Some would say she made the wrong choice though. She
watched the whole attack sequence from 8 feet away and she was traumatized
for three weeks by the whole experience! We missed all those nice people
coming for tea every day too. Sharpie even had the nerve to come back an
hour later for chick-a-dee dessert!
