This is a Common Yellowthroat, And although, when I took this picture a year ago it was the first one I had ever seen, it turns out that they are indeed common. They are everywhere and yet I somehow was completely oblivious to their existence for the three decades I've lived here. It really makes me wonder if there are griffins and goblins regularly ambling down the sidewalks and I've just never noticed.

I have to share my #anting story...

We were #birding at the #Audubon #CorkscrewSwamp in S #Florida. Most of the hike is on a boardwalk so you are up high looking down at #birds on the ground when not over water. We see a #CommonYellowthroat #Warbler on the ground attacking a group of ants. It was odd because he didn't look like he was eating them, just tossing them around like he was mad at them.

Many years later I was reading "The Birder's Handbook" (which has an interesting format, one bird description on each right-hand page, and a more general bird-related essay on the left). I got to the essay on "Anting" and remembered that little bird and the ants! Not mad, not hungry... He just needed a little bug repellent!

Note that elsewhere on a sister site there is an article that seems to contradict all of the above... ?!

I have a personal #CommonYellowThroat story...

I was in the #CorkscrewSwamp Preserve (S. #Florida) many years ago on a boardwalk when I looked down that the roots of a tree and saw a Yellowthroat attacking, but not eating, some ants. I thought "That's odd," and checked the bird off my year list. At the time I had no idea what I had witnessed.

Years later, doing some bird-related reading I discovered "Anting" a form of self-maintenance, self-medication! 🙂 🤷‍♂️
