I had to go back a couple of years to find a good #Warblers shot for #BirdoftheDay, and a Townsend's Warbler having a feast. Persimmon shown for scale. #Birds #eck 🪶

A Townsend's Warbler, perched on a twig eating from a ripe Persimmon fruit, against a blue sky. The fruit is bigger than the bird, which I think is an adult female.

Thanks Sara, I did get some shots where you just see half the bird hanging out of the fruit!
