Pamela Johnston found one in McMinnville a few years ago. Can't rememeber
the month, but very much winter. Lars

Probably an overwintering bird, I think there are a few records for the
state. We have had March records in Coos but they seem early for migrants
also. They occasionally show up on CBCs, we had two on a CV CBC and one on
a Port Orford count in recent years. Another reason to check those
Townsend's flocks closer in the winter. Looking forward to seeing your
photo Dan!

We live in the south hills of Eugene and every morning 8-10 Townsend's
Warblers and 15+ Yellow-rumped Warblers (both forms) are regular visitors
each morning They love the suet and especially the Bark Butter (WBU
product). This morning a flock of about 25 Yellow-rumps arrived to add to
the feeding frenzy. With them was a Hermit Warbler, a first for our yard
and the earliest I have seen one in this area. I finally managed to get a
photo and I can send one later when I hve time to download and process
them. Off to an appointment now so it will likely be later this afternoon.
