Detected TOWA twice at Oaks Bottom, Portland this morning. A recipe for
suet from Paul Sullivan and Carol Carlen has been posted on Obol
several times. I've always attributed its success with the birds to the
peanut butter in it.

The wintering Townsend's in the Willamette Valley are thought to breed up
in BC, so they are bound to leave soon.

A few days ago I switched to store-bought suet because the stores are out
of the peanut butter that I use in my recipe. Since I switched I have had
no Townsend's Warblers after having a small flock daily since October. Are
they picky eaters? Is it a coincidence, and they would have moved on
anyway? Just musing. Later today I will make suet using home-ground peanut
butter. Maybe the TOWAs will return.
