Well... I finally saw it. I've only tried a couple of times but today it came quickly, at about 11:10 a.m. Patrick Sullivan was
in an alley looking for the Commmon Redpoll that's been seen there recently and he directed me over to Thomas Street just
north of 4th Ave. I found Mark and Lori Conrad (from southern California) over there and it wasn't long before Lori had
the bird spotted in a deciduous tree not far from a holly where it had been seen earlier. I didn't need my scope as I got
good looks through the Conrad's scope and through Patrick's scope.

It's really interesting to hear the talk about who all has been breezing through the neighborhood from all parts of the country.
