We were very happy to get our first Townsend's Warbler of the season this morning. It was fun to see it along with a RC Kinglet who's been around for the past 3-4 weeks. Hope the Townsend's stays for a while.

Coldest day in many years for our location (Burien, WA), 17F, so the birds enjoyed the seed I put on a tray on top of the snow. And the hummers were waiting at first light as I deployed the fresh nectar.

This year we have the duller version, but it is often accompanied by a single Ruby-crowned Kinglet and/or a Chestnut-backed Chickadee. I've not had either the RC Kinglet or CB Chickadee as reliable visitors in past winters.
