Kevin & TN-birders,
Sorry that no one has presented updates on the Townsend's Warbler seen
Tuesday (13 Jan) morning. You probably assumed that it had not been
re-found. Birders looked for it Tue. afternoon, Wed. morning, Thur.
morning & afternoon with no luck (that I've heard of). I was out of
town from Thursday through tonight (Sunday). If it should turn up, an
alert will be issued.

>> Today (13 Jan) at about 9:45am, I observed a female or imm. male
>> Townsend's Warbler at Wilbur Lake, near Elizabethton in upper east
Tenn.
>> (directions below). It was seen near the bridge, at the entrance to
the
>> Horseshoe Bend Church driveway, in a mixed flock of chickadees,
titmice,
>> & kinglets etc. It seemed to prefer pines and was foraging fairly
low
>> (5-25 ft.). Five local birders searched for it during mid-to-late
>> afternoon with no luck. This area has extensive suitable habitat, so
>> the warbler could be anywhere, if it stays at all -- but near the
church
>> would be a good place to start looking. I think that it would be a
>> gamble to come from very far to look for it, but "nothing ventured /
>> nothing gained", as they say. It was a very striking bird,
>> superficially resembling a Black-throated Green, but with a dark
cheek
>> patch (surrounded by yellow) and a bright yellow throat & breast,
white
>> belly, bold black streaks on the sides, bold white wing bars, and
>> greenish crown & back.
>>
>> Directions: In Elizabethton, take hwy 91 northeast (toward Shady
>> Valley); in about 3 miles (about 1.5 miles past small airport) turn
>> right (at traffic light, sign for Wilbur & Watauga Dams); stay
straight
>> for about 1.7 miles (keeping toward the river) then turn right
crossing
>> a narrow bridge and continue straight on this road following the
river
>> (in about 1.8 miles you will pass Wilbur Dam); continue up this road
to
>> the first parking area on the left, which is immediately before the
>> bridge; walk toward the bridge, up to the Horseshoe Bend Church or
back
>> along the road.
>>
>> Sorry this is late, but I was in the field until late afternoon, then
>> had a bird club meeting tonight.
