GET A BUZZ FROM THE
TOWNSEND'S WARBLER
By Gail Cleveland
High up near the
tip top of a fir tree in Glacier Park, I can hear the
distinctive song of one of my favorite Northwest Montana
warblers. If I am lucky, he may come out and sing from
the top of the tree, but I am not getting my hopes up. I
also didn’t bring my neck brace, which would definitely
be handy when looking for these tree top singers.

that much of the year they feed mostly by catching

like a flycatcher or circle in the air like a swallow to
catch insects.

OUR COLD WEATHER ‘CAMP ROBBER’

Count is the Gray Jay. As its name implies, the
Gray Jay is muted in body color but is quite
distinguishable with its striking pattern of
black and white on its head and its short, black
bill. The thick fluffy plumage gives it a soft
rounded look; this appealing appearance allows
us to be more forgiving as the Gray Jay, also
known as Camp Robber, makes off with a few
morsels of our picnic.>
