Ruth, if you go to Monse where we saw the Harris's Sparrow, you might also
want to turn south on Monse River Road from the store (the sparrow was to
the north). A fellow in Brewster told us that a pair of Blue Jays had been
seen several times this winter at the farm on the left-hand (east) side a
few hundred yards down the road. We looked, but no luck.
