They normally like the suet feeder, but the last couple of winters I have had some Yellow-rumped Warblers using the suet feed, too, and one is very aggressive toward the Pine Warblers. It chases the Pine Warblers (both male and female) whenever they appear even if they are not close to the suet. This may explain why the Pine Warblers have been feeding at the tube sunflower feeder with the American Goldfinches, House Finches, Purple Finch, Carolina Chickadees, Tutfed Titmice, etc. Most of this winter one is on the feeder and another under it. Another interesting thing is that a friend has both warblers coming to her suet, but it is the Pine Warbler that is aggressive at her house.
