>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!

Every year a pair of Townsend Warblers arrives to spend their day eating my homemade suet along with 18-20 other species that visit daily at my SW Portland home.  Should anyone be interested in making homemade suet, feel free to write to me and I will send a copy of the recipe to you.

I don’t know if this is relevant to your location, but when I lived in Eugene, OR, I had Townsend’s Warbler stay with me every winter.  One winter I had a Hermit Warbler coming to the feeders too.   Lori Markoff

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 ( <https://birdsoftheworld.org/bow/species/towwar/cur/references#REF56932> Bent 1953b).”

 

(She just came back for at least her 2nd visit of the morning).
