As a beginning birder, I'm still fascinated by the antics of my backyard feeder birds. Fortunately my backyard borders a woodland/wetland area, and I do see a fair share of atypical birds at the feeders. I have an "upside down" suet feeder to deter grackles and such, and today thought I saw an extremely large hummingbird beneath the suet feeder. Closer observation showed a yellow rumped warbler frantically beating its wings in order to "hover" beneath the feeder long enough for a poke or two at the suet. Made my day.
