Cape May Warbler. The foregoing data show that this species feeds more consistently near the top of the tree than any species expect black burnian, from which it differs principally in type of feeding action. It not only hawks far more
often than the blackburnian, but also moves vertically rather than radially in the tree, causing its feeding zone to be more restricted to the outer shell of the tree. Myrtle warblers when feeding in the tips of the trees nearly duplicate the feeding
be.iavior of the Cape May. During rainy, windy,and cold weather Cape Mays were not found in the tree tops, but were instead foraging in the low willows (S alix sp.) and pin cherries (Prunus pensylvanica). Here they often fed among the flowers, for which their semi tubular tongue (Gardner 1925) may be advantageous.
