John -

A few that come to mind:

Carolina Wren eats spiders and insects on and near the ground. My personal favorite because it daily cleans my porch of spiders!

Yellow-Billed Cuckoo eats the green tent worm

Brown Thrasher forages on the ground for insects

Brown Creeper investigates tree bark looking for insects

Eastern (formerly Rufous) Towhee scratches in leaf litter like a chicken looking for insects,nuts and seeds

Owls and Hawks of course eat rodents.

<<Have any members noticed any birds eating pests? .... do any North American birds do this?........ but are there other birds that help
us? Cheers, John E. Bryan>>
