This morning I was able to see the Yellow-throated Warbler that is coming to
the feeder of Dan Golner in Two Rivers, Manitowoc County. I saw it in the
company of Charles Sontag and Daryl Tessen. Dan also saw this bird this
morning from the comfort of his apartment. If the photo of this bird from Jan.
2nd is accepted by the records committee, it will become the first
Yellow-throated Warbler found on a CBC Count Day or Count Period. The NE
Woodland Dunes Count (which includes Two Rivers) was conducted on Jan. 1 - thus
making this a count week species.
If others are interested in this bird, Dan's address is 3404 Memorial Drive in
Two Rivers. Memorial Drive is the main road along the lake in Two Rivers and
Dan's apartment is on the south side of the city. His apartment complex is
just south of the Village Inn Motel. If coming for this bird, it might be best
to park in a parking area between the apartment complex and the motel. There
is a nice parking area here. When looking to the southwest from this spot, you
will see the apartment complex with a line of cedar trees just to the north of
the complex. Go to this cedar area. From here, you will see a woodland to the
west. This woodland is part of the Woodland Dunes Nature Area. Dan's
apartment is to the extreme northwest edge of the complex and is on the second
story. He has feeders on his porch, with the feeders facing west towards
Woodland Dunes. The warbler seems to have a habit of showing up at the feeder
at 9:00 am. We first saw it this morning at 8:55 am. It flew in from the
south, landed on an exposed branch of an ash tree, stayed there a minute or two
and then came to the feeder. The best view is when the bird is in the ash
tree. It is feeding on the scraps that fall from a suet feeder. These scraps
fall onto the railing of the porch. This is where the Yellow-throated feeds.
But since the rail of this second story porch is about 8 inches wide, it is
difficult to see the bird when it is feeding. It would feed for a minute or
two - and then fly away. It then came back a short while later -first landing
in the ash tree as before.
