Tweeters,
This particular birder-homeowner interaction was a great success! Sue
Slade told the neighbors about the bird before the crowds arrived, which I
am sure helped a lot. And the birdseed WAS a great idea; many thanks to
those responsible. Below is a message from Sue herself. Thanks, everyone!
