Hi Russ

Forgive my ignorance, but in�what county is Woodstock located?� NOT picking on Russ - this is a pretty common occurrence on the list - but i wish people would give a little more thought to their signature blocks.�

I am belatedly adding my location to the Pine Siskin parade.� They've been around for about 10 days, but i wanted to wait until i had a really good look before "calling" them.� The numbers here (at my feeders - B/O sunflower seeds�& niger thistle) are small...no RB Nuts seen, but i "feel" that they are around :)

I couldn't believe it - I just returned home from Prettyboy Reservoir area where I had stopped after work to chase down some Evening Grosbeaks being seen there (I had one female, BTW), and when I got out of the car and peaked around the corner at my deck feeders, a beautiful male was sitting on MY feeder! What a great two days with the Le Conte's Sparrow yesterday at HoCo Conservancy and now this wonderful bird tonight! Pics at:
