VA Birders,
A few days ago I was lucky enough to photograph a Blackpoll in my yard eating
the red berries from a Burning Bush (Euonymous atlatus). It turns out that
several warbler species other than Yellow-rumps eat fruits and berries.
A photo of the fruit eating bird can be seen at

The bird was first feeding on insects in and under a small bush, where I took
this photo

but one photo was taken with the bird in the shade while the other was taken in
bright sunlight.
