Black-throated Gray Warbler photos and notes

[Caleb Putnam]

Birders-

The Black-throated Gray Warbler has been visible all morning today, 18 Jan 
2007, at the southwest corner of the parking lot at 1345 Monroe Ave NW in 
Grand Rapids.  It appears to be a female.  Two photos of the bird can be 
viewed at (scroll down the page):

It is associating with a chickadee flock, and nearly all of the chickadees 
are now using the platform feeder I put up this morning (viewed from atop 
the railroad berm near the dumpster), however the warbler has not yet 
visited the suet to my knowledge.  The warbler has passed within a few feet 
of the feeder several times, but does not seem to recognize it as food.  
Hopefully it will it soon.  If you are not seeing the warbler, walk a little 
ways south and scan down toward the river bank.

If you visit, please sign the log on my door at Suite 210- in the far 
(northeast) corner of the second floor- there's a chance I'll be in the 
office too.  Good luck!
