Subject: [Tweeters] Aggressive Yellow-rumped Warblers

Hi Tweets, and happy new year!

I've been seeing a lot of Yellow-Rumped Warblers at my feeder over the past
few weeks and have noticed them being highly aggressive with my Chickadees,
chasing them and outright attempting to fight them for position. Is this
typical Warbler behavior? I've never noticed it in the summer, so I'm
wondering if it's a lack of resources that's got them so feisty! I provide
both seed and suet, so I wish they'd just chill out. I'm curious to hear if
anyone else has observed this kind of aggression.

Best,
Susan Littlefield
