R.E. Johnson 1967 Audubon Warbler April 8 Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History, Santa Barbara, Calif. Clear, sunny, still. Oak slopes & sycamore creek bottom. Three (1 mature male) birds foraging in top of 70 ft Sycamore. Spend a large portion of time eyeing branches to leaves from each perch without making any foraging attempts. Forage in leaves & fly down (2-5 ft) to larger (2 inch diameter) limb to consume food secured in leaves. This consisted primarily of 3/4" green caterpillers. Whipped bill on limb after most feeding bouts.
