Some postings re: the Yellow-throated Warbler incorrectly state the location as being in Greenwich. While it is part of the town of Greenwich, Riverside is where the bird is. There is another Arch Street in Greenwich proper which is not where the warbler is, and can mislead people into going to the wrong location. 64 Arch Street, Riverside is the road that borders the backside of Binney Park which is in Old Greenwich.

Public thanks are in order to Meredith for this clarification. I went down and saw this bird this morning and would probably have gone to the wrong Arch St. if not for this note. I personally appreciate detailed directions to good birds, especially those that are in somewhat far-flung corners of the state. It's a haul for some of us to get to certain places, and that makes it doubly nice when directions are detailed -- and thus more useful. >From Jamie Meyers: Riverside section of Greenwich, 64 Arch Street - YELLOW-THROATED WARBLER continues. I saw it around noon today, actually in a rhodendron in the yard to the left of 64, after about a 45 minute vigil. Goshen, East Street - 1 COMMON REDPOLL in a yard on the west side of the street that had feeders and many Pine Siskins New Milford, West Street - WOOD DUCK with many Mallards in Great Creek. Previous reports were of 3 hens, I saw one drake there and no hens. I wasn't planning on going for the warbler today and was fortunate enough to have remembered the address from previous posts. I wasn't sure what to expect when I got there. In reading some reports from last month, it seems as though the homeowners are (or were) feeding it mealworms and peanut butter. The only feeders I noticed were in the front of the yard, and those were receiving a steady supply of customers but I never saw the warbler there. Following a rash of chickadee and titmouse activity, I saw it flitting around in the rhododendron noted above. I couldn't tell if it travels in the company of those birds or if feeds in a regular place. Neat little bird! Oh, and of course there was at least one Pine Siskin in or near the yard.
