We have had Townsends Warblers at our suet during the winter for over 10 years. First time was on a Christmas morning but we've had them this year for over a month.

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 https://birdsoftheworld.org/bow/species/towwar/cur/references#REF56932 )."
