Re: [Ontbirds] Townsend's Warbler near Rondeau Wednesday - YES
The Townsend’s warbler has been refound Wednesday morning at 9:30 at the usual location. Corner of Second St and Centre St. We have watched and photographed it as it moved to Third St and it is back at now at 10:10 at the original spot.
