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.

Great capture Hank, Looks like this bird has a lot of dinner options.

very nice! Making good use of that nesting material.

the chicks will grow in luxury...well done to catch the gathering of materials..

Interesting to see her collecting the silk for her nest.

Helen Betts 29-Apr-2020 04:02
What a great shot! Sure seems like the caterpillars would be more tasty.

a beautiful image nicely captured.

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.

Pierre Martin 29-Apr-2020 00:48
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.
