Subject: [cobirds] more about the aphid situation in Boulder
I received wonderful photos of both the current Boulder prothonotary and
northern parula with FLIES in their beaks. Flies from a few families
(Calliphoridae, Muscidae, Tachinidae, Sarcophagidae, Syrphidae, others)
regularly or at least occasionally seek out aphid honeydew deposited on plant
surfaces. Aphids are tiny. Most of the honeydew-seeking insects are bigger.
So, while aphids may be initial target and overriding staple of late-migrating
insectivorous birds (along with midges), the aphid-associated insects are
welcome gravy they don't ignore.
