Zero Townsend's this year for me. 1 Yellow-rumped Warbler prominently
arrived Feb 8 when they took over birdfeeder ownership from the Dark-eyed
Junco. They disappeared for several days then reappeared last Wednesday
mid-molt. They haven't been as conspicuous since then.

We have had a male Townsend's all winter here in Maple Leaf, as well as two
Yellow-rumped. We have been truly amazed at the 10 or so (Audubon's)
Yellow-rumped that arrived in the yard on 26 February and have thronged the
feeders ever since. They clearly travel as a flock, as one minute they are
all over the yard, then they're gone for a while, but they visit numerous
times during the day. Like juncos, they form flocks, but they can be very
aggressive to one another within the flock. They are just starting to molt
into breeding plumage.

To change the subject of Varied Thrushes, has anybody noticed a lack of
Townsend's Warblers this winter? I normally have at least two coming to my
suet feeders, but have not seen a single one so far! 

 

Good Birding!
