Our tiny OC Warbler has almost completely stopped eating suet and grape jelly, and for the past month has been eating up to 40 good-sized mealworms per day (!) and hulled sunflower seeds. Mealworms are high in fat and so are the sunflower seeds, so it appears that the more of those he eats, the less other fats (and sugars?) he needs. He still forages in the bushes outside my kitchen windows, though I don't know exactly what he is getting. He has survived snowstorms, windstorms and rainstorms, and stays out of the way of the Sharp-shinned and Cooper's Hawks. I hope he continues to do so! We are grateful to Suzanne Borkowski and Susann Myers for their advice and help in warbler care. The feeding cage has enabled us to feed the mealworms to him and not to all the Starlings, Bluejays, etc. which would like to get at them. Lois Codling
