I’ve seen some of them getting flies. If they are in the mood for flies, I hope they stick around for a long time. Our home is a fly magnet, really. It is a daily thing for me to vacuum flies out of our windows. Even during the winter months, we have flies. A few years back, we replaced all the windows in our home. I so hoped that this would take care of our fly problem, but it didn’t. Oh how I wished I knew how they keep getting into our home. Wow, that turned into a soap-box….sorry.
In all actuality, all I wanted to write about was the cute little birds. By searching Google images, I’m thinking that these little birds are Audubon’s Warblers and are linked into a grouping of five species of warblers known as Yellow-Rumped Warblers. Wikipedia states that these birds are insectivorous…..that would explain the fly eating, since flies are categorized as insects, because they have a single pair of metathoracic wings that are used for flight. Now, if I get rid of all the terms and technicalities, I’m left with a cute little bird, that I love watching out my windows!

Hi Marsha!
Cute! I have noticed this Fall, that there are so many birds still hanging around and singing in the trees. I don't know if it's the milder weather and they aren't flying South as soon, or if they just like sticking around!
This little bird is one I see often, glad to know what he or she, is... ;0) I wish they would start eating the flies at my house!
Hugs,
Barb
Such cute little birds. Enjoy the women's broadcast tonight and your Sunday tomorrow. See you again soon!
They really are cute birds. I have had quite a few in my yard also. Glad you are enjoying bird watching. I use to be a big bird watcher. I never went anywhere without my binoculars and bird book...Max
I loved the pictures of the cute birds. I also enjoyed the information you looked up about them. I think it is awesome that they are helping with the flies.
Hugs!
