How to Attract Yellow rumped Warblers with Homemade Suet Crumbles 2018



On Apr 16 2018 I had 8 of these male yellow rumped warblers eating suet on my back patio in Topeka Kansas. They are in their bright breeding plumage which is a sharp contrast with their dull winter plumage. Note the yellow patches on the side, rump and top of head. The white throat is indicative of the myrtle form which winters in the southern US. I only see them during winter and spring and fall migration as they nest further north. To attract them I sprinkle homemade suet on a table and on the ground. The suet also attracts robins, grackles and blue jays which scare off the warblers.
