Dear Tweeters,

Two BLACK-THROATED SPARROWS have been at 28671 Utopia Road in Skagit County since 6-07-12. The homeowner is very birder-friendly. Keith and Jan Wiggers videotaped the birds today. They told me that Mr. Currant, the homeowner, would like someone to put it on Tweeters, so here it is. Keith told me to relate that the dog there is friendly, but that if a birder were to open the gate, they must be sure to close it, to keep the dog in.

Utopia Road is just east of Sedro-Woolley on the Minkler Flats. This is off Hoehn Road, just northeast of the east end of Burmaster Road, which itself is a very birdy road.

Yours truly,

Gary Bletsch

Und eigentlich war mir das recht lieb, denn es war mir kurz vorher selber eingefallen, auf Reisen zu gehen, da ich die Goldammer, welche im Herbst und Winter immer betruebt an unserm Fenster sang: "Bauer, miet' mich, Bauer, miet' mich!" nun in der schoenen Fruehlingszeit wieder ganz stolz und lustig vom Baume rufen hoerte: "Bauer, behalt' deinen Dienst!"
