["Kurt Schroeder" <kschroeder19@xxxxxxx>]

A few weeks ago my husband and I caught a brief glimpse of 'different' warbler 
at our bird bath.  The bird left before we could grab the binoculars and get a 
good look.  However, we had the impression that it was a Nashville Warbler.
Today (Sun 2/4/07) a Nashville Warbler visited our bird bath!  Both Kurt and I 
had excellent views (bright sun, bird bath is 15-20 feet from our window and I 
was able to get a good look through binoculars).  The bird had a bluish-grey 
head, strong white eyeline, a small rufous cap (very obvious while bathing), 
greenish back and bright yellow from the throat to the rump.  Alas, I was not 
able to get a picture.  Hopefully, he will visit again and we can take a photo.

The Yellow-throated Warbler (previously reported) continues to visit our suet 
feeders regularly.

And, we've been seeing a small group (5 - 7) of Common Mergansers on Lake Smith.


Best Regards,

Debbie Schroeder
