Hello,

I'm wondering how easily disturbed nesting hooded mergansers are? We have a nest box and a female merganser that has been in the area of the box for the last two weeks, and I'm wondering about checking the box?

Also, do yellow warblers commonly feed on nectar? Two today on a white-flowering currant in our yard, and with close observation they appear to be feeding on nectar rather than on insects.

Thanks very much,
Robin
