[obol] Warblers

[Barbara & John Woodhouse]

We watched an Olive sided flycatcher on the Bayocean spit catching 
bumble bees, it would take it back to its perch and hit it on the 
branch supposedly to remove the sting then it swallowed it. It did 
this several times, John video taped it by staying on its perch!
