Comments: John Wyatt and Debbie Ryan were my hosts this afternoon for an opportunity to see a Townsend's Warbler in Maine that really should not be here!! I had several great birds for the New Year and totally appreciate the hospitality of John and Debbie. This is one of the first times I have every made a long trip for a Feeder Bird...but a Townsend Warbler was too tempting.

Townsend's Warbler (Setophaga townsendi) 1 Located at 46 Kaler Street, Winterport. This Male has found a feeder full of meal-worms and an excellent place for the cold Maine winter. Photos reveal black flecking in the malar. This Northwestern Coastal Forest bird is well out of his range and another victim of this fall and winter dynamic winds moving birds around the country.

Northern Cardinal (Cardinalis cardinalis) 4
