TENTS IN THE WOODS

Caterpillar "tent"

One of nine tents in the pin cherry trees along the roadside.
July 13, 2012

While taking these photos a Chestnut sided Warbler came by for a look.

July 13, 2012 It will be interesting to see if they can eat the tree
 before the birds eat them.


Looking a little "picked" on July 18, 2012.
 The Chestnut sided warbler was still singing in the area.
The Black-billed Cuckoo was seen and heard
July 17, 2012 after a three year absence on our road.
Inside a tent on August 16, 2012. This is from our own yard.


Pretty yuccky stuff in there.

I set it out on the bird feeding area.
 Chickadees , Goldfinches and Purple Finches were seen soon after, but
, it is unknown if it was the caterpillars or
 left over sunflower seeds that was the attraction.
