Several days ago, I noticed that the Common Yellowthroat Warblers were back. They arrive each Fall during their migration and feast on the moths, caterpillars and some other insects including butterflies in my yard. When they arrived here last week, there were possibly 2-3 of them but yesterday perhaps 6 more Common Yellowthroat Warbler's have joined them. They were busy hunting all day long and have just about eaten every caterpillar in the yard. They also ate many of the several hundred looper moths that were over running the gardens. Today, there are many less of the moths but still lots of butterflies.
