A small songbird more at home in the swamps and woodlands of Central America has survived Nova Scotia's harsh winter, thanks to some kind people, a heat lamp and a whole lot of crickets.
A yellow-throated warbler — affectionately called Wobbly — showed up at Lyle and Trish Baker's home in Petite Rivière, Lunenburg County, in mid-December.
"It flew in and was scrambling around with the native birds for food under the trees and whatnot," Lyle Baker told CBC's Information Morning.
"So we were able to identify it and we knew by that time that it was a misfit, that it really didn't belong here."
