[Maine-birds] Re: Yellow-throated Warbler (Dendroica dominica)

2:05 pm the chickadees, nuthatches, titmice, woodpeckers, and slate grey junos came in to feed. At 2:20 pm the doves have arrived. But, no warbler yet.

Still no signs of the warbler, but to be honest, I haven't been keeping a close eye on the feeder due to morning errands. We just hung a second suet feeder in the hopes that the squirrels won't be able to access it. I kinda, sorta think the warbler has moved on...But, I will surely be vigilant during the afternoon feeding rush from 2pm on. Feel free to come on over if you'd like!

 No show, warbler... We hardly saw any birds from 2 pm - 3:30 pm. We saw some nuthatches, downy and hairy woodpeckers, crows and a raven in the air. Rob played some chickadee sounds from his phone app, but to no avail. I was so bummed that Janet, Rob, and the McGraths did not see the warbler today. I'll keep you posted if I see it tomorrow.

The afternoon feeding seems to have begun. A flock of chickadees flew in, along with some doves. They got spooked after a few minutes and left. I did not see the warbler with them. Hopefully, it will show around the 2pm time frame.

10: 25 am - A small flock of chickadees flew in again, but I did not see the warbler. However, along with the chickadees, came slate-colored juncos, blue jays, titmice, doves, a few downy woodpeckers, and squirrels. A couple of chickadees fed at the seed feeder, and then flew away. All the other birds stayed for about 10 minutes maximum.

10:50 am - Neighbor dog, Zoe, is in prime squirrel chasing mode which does not bode well for birds visiting the feeder right now. But, she went home when asked.

8:35 am the Warbler flew in with a flock of chickadees, but did not feed. The entire flock fled due to this being prime squirrel activity at the suet feeders. So, it is around even in the morning, but I haven't seen the chickadees since. 2pm seems to be a better time to view the bird as the squirrels aren't in a feeding frenzy at that time.

The warbler came back today at 2pm. Here is my best photo of it. The warbler hung out at the feeder for a good 2 minutes at a time.

A Yellow-throated warbler visited our suet feeder, at 3:30 pm, on Dec. 30th. We live in Bowdoin, Maine next to Caesar Pond. The warbler stayed around for at least 20 minutes. This is our first sighting of this species in Maine.
