There are many microbreweries in NY state. The bartender placed these three samples on the bar and I couldn’t resist the shot as well as the beer.
Most warblers feast almost exclusively on insects. The Cape May Warbler (Setophaga tigrina) supplements this diet with flower nectar, especially during winter months in Central America. In fact, it has evolved a semi-tubular tongue to help it sip this nectar, as if through a straw! In the summer, though, it adores spruce budworms...it is still, after all, a warbler!
(Del lat. nectar, y este del gr. νέκταρ, nombre de la bebida de los dioses)

I found a brand new waterfall for me anyway.This is Nectar Fall in Blount County. I am so impressed by this it looks like it should be in the North Carolina mountains instead of Alabama. Lisa the walk in to this one is very easy and you would not have any problems. My mother is nearly 60 and had rated this as easy.
Warbler Week, Day 5...First seen by Alexander Wilson in 1811 in the fine state of Tennessee, the Tennessee Warbler (Oreothlypis peregrina) was thusly given its name. Unfortunately, this warbler does not make its home in that state, and was merely passing through during migration. It, like yesterday's cape may warbler, breeds primarily in Canada where it also feasts on spruce budworms. In the winters, it too enjoys nectars. Unlike the cape may, who uses his specialized tongue to obtain the nectar, the Tenessee warbler steals it. Well, it's a theft as far as the flower is concerned. The whole reason flowers put out nectar, after all, is to entice pollinators to come dance on their petals. The Tennessee warbler instead pierces the flowers at their base and battens on the nectar without ever pollinating the flower!
Bats are super interesting mammals, important seeds dispersers and flowers pollinators, in this case this one bat was visiting this Apocynacea family member for its nectar. I founded very interesting and made the set up to capture it in flight.
This guy was enjoying sipping nectar from a native Ironweed in my yard. Ironweed is an important nectar source for butterflies and other critters from July through late fall. Photo captured in my yard near Owasso, Oklahoma.

This Neon Cuckoo Bee (Thyreus nitidulus) was sipping nectar from a potted Purple-top Verbena (Verbena bonariensis).

This bee lays its eggs in Blue-banded bee nests (Amegilla species)
I caught this Honey Bee – Apis mellifera –, with its legs covered in nectar and in flight, just as it was about to land on the, (I think), Hogweed – Heracleum sphondylium – growing on the banks of Carr Mill Dam, St Helens. Taken hand held using a +4 macro filter on my 18-270 zoom.
