Just in from a brief walk around the yd. While it is pretty quiet, I did,
joyfully, watched a m and f oriole pick tent caterpillars out of separate
webs - they weren't eating them whole but picking them out through access
holes and pecking out the inards. Hurray for them!!! One stop shopping!
I have also watched Chickadees swiping web materials presumably for nest
building. So any other observations of tent caterpillar predators other
than cuckoos?
