One of my birding stops today in the South Kettle Moraine in Waukesha County I found an Eastern Red Cedar tree with Yellow-rumped Warblers eating cedar berries. The Yellow-rumped Warblers put on a great show while I stood there and watched. They came and went along with a couple of House Finches eating berries too. It is common to see them pick berries and test them if they are ready, soft enough to eat or ripe. If they are not ready they just drop them to the ground. It was a beautiful October day with full sun and a nice breeze out of the south. Temps around 80 degrees. Images were taken on October 5, 2025.
