<div style="">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.</div>

<div class="" style="word-wrap:break-word; line-break:after-white-space">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.

<div dir="ltr" class="">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!
