Interesting. I've seen Cape May warblers in spring dipping their bills into Black Willow flowers during migration to extract the nectar. I've also seen Tennessee Warblers (and have a photo of one) sipping nectar from flowers in Costa Rica.
I also saw a Black-throated Blue Warbler once at Presque Isle visiting sapsucker wells to sip the sap.
