      Hi all Late Sun afternoon   Oct 3, 04  I  walked my Rd Jos Boyles Rd
near Queenstown . I went To the Stream Bottom  north of the House .   A male
Black throated Blue  Warbler Flew in Low to a  Devils Walking Stick  Bush
Loaded With  dark purple fruit and appeared to be  eating them but could not
see it swallow them . But It Did  pop up once with a berry in its bill soon
to go back into the berries .  Than Flew off after about 2 Min .    I know
some Warblers eat  Fruit but have not seen  Black Throated Blues  do so  or
read about them  doing so.  Anyone Out there see or  read Anything  about
them doing this  ? And yes It was a Black Throated Blue Warbler Weekend .
     Happy Birding  Danny Poet  Queenstown Md
