[Tweeters] Townsend's Warbler at feeders?

[THOMAS BENEDICT]

>18-20 other species...  !!! That’s lot of birds in your yard! I’m lucky to see 4-5 species. You must be putting “bird catnip” in your mix!  


Please share your recipe!

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 ).”
