Within the past couple of days I've also seen common yellowthroats, cape may warblers, and even northern waterthrush pavement-feeding. So this morning I checked where a large flock was feeding. I could see very tiny oblong gray insects moving on the concrete. They were very very tiny. Perhaps this is what the warblers are eating? Anyone have any ideas what kind of insect they may be? Presumably they are associated with the elms? Diana Doyle S.
