Subject: [Tweeters] Townsend's Warbler at feeders?

I have been seeing a Townsend's warbler at my Licton Springs (north of
Green Lake) suet cake feeder about once a week over the last month or two.

I have likewise had an Orange Crowned Warbler that oscillates between the
hummingbird feeder and the suet feeder. The local Anna's seem very chuffed
about it.
