Yellow-rumped Warbler with grub

Evidently the junipers behind the Hawk Watch at Cape May Lighthouse State Park in October are full of grubs. They are certainly full of Yellow-rumped Warblers who feed on grubs. Still, catching a warbler with its grub is largely a matter of persistance. If you take enough pictures of warblers, you will very likely get a grub in one of them. This handsome bird was savoring the anticipation of its meal, or would have been if it were human, and if humans enjoyed grubs…okay…maybe it was just sitting there for reasons beyond our comprehension, holding the grub in its beak.
