Hi Phil,
Boy, that had to be one bad driving,there had all kind of accident's on
I-05 last night.I was watching my Birds in the yard to dark,there was
nothing better to do than watching. Patrick was busy chasing the
Starlings away, which also also arrived with this cold weather. There try
to get on the Suet, and keep coming back after there had a taste, and liked
it. There hard to scare away. We have now 3 Varied Thrush 2 Male 1
Female.It was nice seeing you again, and hope you try again to find the
Slaty-backed Gull.
