Folks:

We were able to spend some extended time watching our bird backyard feeders and saw three birds we had never seen there before. These included a CHESTNUT-BACKED CHICADEE, FEMALE TOWNSEND'S WARBLER AND A FEMALE YELLOW RUMPED WARBLER. Very cool.

I thought I would also take a moment to thank everyone who posts full trip reports on Tweaters that includes the numbers of birds and locations of the sitings (for example along Black Road near the Cemetary). I have been gathering these postings into future trip ideas that my wife and I intend to use. With the dates of the postings and the locations, we can pretty much duplicate the trips and know what we might expect to find there.

Cheers,

Keith Unterschute
