Tweets -; for two weeks now, we've had what looks to be a first year female TOWNSEND'S WARBLER coming to our seed feeders, usually a couple of times a morning.

I'm using a no-mess blend from the West Seattle True Value store, which is sunflower chips and peanut chips, I believe. She's also fed at another feeder that has sunflower chips mixed with niger. Sometimes she goes to the suet as well.

Has anyone else had a Townsend's regularly visiting their feeders? Birds of the World lists only a very old report: "In winter, visits feeding stations where cheese, marshmallows, and peanut butter are offered (Bent 1953b)."

(She just came back for at least her 2nd visit of the morning).
