Just over lunch I was watching the sparrows feeding on corn on our patio. An
Ovenbird had been around off and on over the morning. I don't think it was
eating the corn, but it was picking it up, and dropped most kernals again (I
didn't actually see it swallow any). I think it was more probing...looking
for things that squirmed when touched (indicating food), though I'm not
sure. However, May and I did watch the Ovenbird grab the tail feathers of a
Junco and start yanking.

Very odd.

We also had Common Yellowthroat and Black-and-white Warblers in the yard
today (one of each).
