My UFB was back today, for about 5 seconds. I am nearly positive that it
is indeed a rufous sided Towhee. I would like to see it at least once
more, perhaps a wee tad longer to confirm my identification. According
to Bob Armstrong's book, they have been sighted in Juneau before. Our
weather has been lousy, really lousy, with lots of southeasterlies. It
is also quite warmand least we forget, d--- wet!

I have spent the evening trying to find out who in our fair city to ask
as apparently there is not a hot line.
