Hi folks,

As it transpires I also found this Yellow-throated Warbler today. I  
watched it at some length today in several areas adjacent to where Ian  
observed it. At the north end of the St. Mary's boat club property is  
a large concrete and brick "tower" (the function of which is unknown  
to me). Along the side of this tower is a long concrete wall, and  
below it are a couple of large stands of some sort of ornamental bush  
that has yellow and orange berries.

I first spotted Yellow-throated Warbler in the company of a dozen  
chickadees and one goldfinch foraging along this wall (there is some  
Japanese knotweed and some other bushes that grow along it). Then it  
joined the chickadees in foraging in amongst the bushes with the  
yellow and orange berries, where it stayed for some time. It  
subsequently flew up over the wall to a pine that grows along  
Fairfield Road, then back down to a thick cedar above the  
aforementioned wall, and then down to a large pine just above the  
Jubilee condominium at the base of Jubilee Road. I should think it  
will be easy to locate this bird in this area with a little patience.

I also found (to my considerable surprise) an Ovenbird, a Black-and- 
White Warbler, a Cardinal, and a Hermit Thrush in the south end today.  
If anyone is interested in locating these, give me a shout via email  
and I'll pass on directions. Altogether an excellent day.

Best wishes!

Chris
