[EBB Sightings] Backyard Townsends

After Shasta plopped a ball in my lap, I looked up and was surprised to see 
a Townsend's Warbler today in my flatland backyard (a first). Intimidated by 
a House  Sparrow  it made several attempts towards the birdbath until 
finally settling down for a long session. Shasta was more interested in her 
ball but I was  happy to get great looks without warbler neck!   Since I 
rarely see warblers in my yard  it's been a fallout week as I also  recently 
had a Wilsons. Also of backyard note, the first White Crowned Sparrow 
appeared today, late compared to everybody else but looking in my notebook, 
the exact same date as last year.
