around the north end of the main parking lot in the late afternoon. In the
early afternoon a female CANADA WARBLER was reported in the same area.
In the Sooke area a BLACK-THROATED BLUE WARBLER was seen, but because this

feeder.
Please do not go past the back of the house otherwise you will flush the
bird.
