My daughter, who lives on the west side of Olympia, reported seeing a small flock of Townsend's Warblers, about six birds, a few days ago, and now reports that a few other people in the same general area are also seeing little flocks. Is anyone else seeing this? Of course, we commonly have the occasional single Townsend's coming to a feeder, often to a suet feeder, or perhaps a pair if you're lucky; but seeing a small flock is very unusual. And BTW I'm not doubting the reports at all.
