…to be a spider! Winter visitors like this Palm Warbler (Setophaga palmarum) are trickling back south. Despite their tropical name, these birds breed up in northern Canada.

Wisely, they choose to avoid the cold by flying to the southern US and the Caribbean. As some of our earliest migrants, they are usually harbingers of cooler weather (though this year summer seems determined to stick around).

This immature warbler must’ve worked up quite an appetite, I watched it gobble up six spiders in less than 10 minutes!
