Index of Subjects Hi Gayle and all, Does your Orange-crowned Warbler like Grape Jelly as much as mine does? I can't believe how much he/she eats! He is slowing down a bit now that the weather is colder, and eats more suet and mealworms. And my bushes in the area of his feeder-cage have never been so insect-free. He searches the same branches all the time and apparently finds more tiny insects or eggs. Lois Codling L.
