Yellow-throated Warbler coming to a feeder near Battle Creek

[Skip Russell]

Hi all,

A friend just called me from Michigan to ask about an unusual bird
coming to her feeder for the past several days.  The photos clearly
show it to be a YELLOW-THROATED WARBLER.  It has been feeding on the
ground in the snow with juncos.

The photos may be seen here:  Note that some of them are quite large!
