A wonderful image of it, interesting that it ignored the caterpillars.

A terrific photo showing this behavior. Such tasty looking caterpillars but nest building came first.

Interesting to see her collecting the silk for her nest.
Helen Betts29-Apr-2020 04:02
What a great shot! Sure seems like the caterpillars would be more tasty.

Wonderful capture, Hank. Great work.

Excellent environmental portrait of the bird, showing some of the habitat. We see too many close ups of bird alone, still good but not as informational.

many birds using those type of material and spider web, great capture!

What a beautiful shot, and an interesting one too, as the warbler is clearly focused on getting some of that tent caterpillar silk for its nest. Fascinating image.
